Talk doesn’t come cheap when it comes to Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
CBS is paying a license fee of between $ 7 million and $ 9 million for the rights to broadcast Ms. Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, according to people familiar with the pact.
The two-hour interview is scheduled for Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. ET, following the network’s hit news magazine “60 Minutes.” Sundays are one of the greatest nights of television use.
As part of the agreement between CBS and Ms. Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Productions, the network also has licensing rights to the special in international markets. In the UK, the interview will be broadcast on ITV on Monday. CBS is part of ViacomCBS Inc.
A spokeswoman for the couple said they will not be compensated for the interview.
