Another one of the positive results of The Oprah Effect is it allowed Oprah to quickly and successfully expand her own media company, Harpo Productions. Harpo (Oprah spelled backward) has produced both film and television. Most notably, Harpo Productions is known for launching the television shows, Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, and The Dr. Oz Show.

Upon the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Harpo Productions even launched an entire TV channel, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. OWN is now home to Super Soul Sunday, Oprah’s Master Class, and Oprah: Where Are They Now? Talk about diversification!
