The choice was finalized after a series of focus groups were conducted and the name was unanimously embraced. The magazine's title will have a connection to Oprah's overall theme and message. "What I like about O is that it is simple and direct, and it is what a lot of my friends call me," said Oprah Winfrey. "O reflects the close bond and inclusion which readers will experience with the magazine," said Ellen Kunes, editor-in-chief. "O will be the women's personal growth guide for this new century, inspired by Oprah's unique vision." O will have a distribution of 850,000 and will publish two double issues, the May/June issue (on sale April 17) and the July/August issue (on sale June 20), before going monthly beginning with the September 2000 issue. The magazine will explore advice, spirituality, beauty and fashion, health and fitness, and other topics.
