BREAKING. Oprah Winfrey to star in reality show going behind the scenes of the 25th (and final season) of her talk show. SABC3 wants it.

You're reading it here first.

I have a press release from the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) announcing that talk show host Oprah Winfrey will star in a brand-new reality show, Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season set to air next year in 2011 and I can tell you exclusively first that SABC3 wants it.

''Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season will offer viewers unprecedented access to Harpo, capturing the anticipation and excitement of the beloved show in its last season,'' says OWN in a just-released press statement. ''Viewers will be given a unique glimpse into the lives of the staff and the happenings between a special group of people who over decades have truly become a family.''

''This series will explore this rare collection of people by following a core cast of regulars from various departments as they work and navigate the last days of the show. With Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season, viewers will see television history being made. Throughout the series, Oprah will share her perspective and personal reflections on what has become a cultural phenomenon.''

"For the first time ever, viewers will get to see behind the curtains of The Oprah Winfrey Show," says Christina Norman, OWN's chief executive officer. "Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season will document what will be the most amazing season, yet."

SABC3 is aware of this new reality show at highest level, I can reveal. Inside sources at SABC3 tells me that the broadcaster will ''definitely look into the possibility of acquiring the show'' and that it could be a great fit for SABC3 which is already broadcasting The Oprah Winfrey Show. ''It would be great to have both the behind the scenes show as well as the final season of Oprah's daily talk show on SABC3 but it's still a way off, and we'll first have to see what the licencing possibilities would be,'' a source told me.
