LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Oprah Winfrey is moving her production company to HBO in a three-year deal to make movies, documentaries and TV Series.

Winfrey's Harpo Films had been with ABC for the last 15 years.

Kate Forte, head of Harpo films, said Tuesday the company wanted to make a more eclectic mix of programming than was available on broadcast TV.

ABC wanted to extend the deal, but Harpo Films believed HBO was a better fit, Forte said.

"This is really a dream come true for us," she said.

The premium cable network doesn't usually make such individual deals with production companies, but network co-president Richard Plepler said that "Oprah personifies excellence and quality in everything she does."

No financial terms of the deal were disclosed and there was no immediate announcement of any upcoming projects.
