OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network,
the joint venture between Harpo Inc. and Discovery Communications, Monday announced
its programming lineup for its premiere weekend and its regular daytime and

The network will debut at

talker, as well as the U.S. premiere of cooking show Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag and decorating series Trading Spaces.
"During our launch weekend, the audience will see a
little of everything OWN has to offer," said Christina Norman, chief executive
officer, OWN. "Oprah as they've never seen her in Season 25: Oprah Behind The Scenes, expert advice from Dr. Oz, Dr.
Phil and Suze Orman to get their year started right on Ask Oprah's All-Stars, and sneak peeks at the kinds of shows we
believe really fulfill our mission to be entertaining and inspiring."
The network also announced Monday the addition of
three new series to its 2011 schedule: The
