CHICAGO, June 11 (UPI) -- Oprah Winfrey and Paris Hilton headline the list of celebrities appearing next week at a trade show for the cable television industry in Chicago.

Winfrey, who is moving on from her long-running daytime talk show, will talk about her new OWN network in an on-site interview with Paula Zahn on Thursday.

The Chicago Tribune said Saturday other celebrities promoting their new series at The Cable Show include Kelsey Grammer and Fred Armisen.
