Singapore – Oprah Winfrey’s exclusive interview with Lance Armstrong, previously announced to be a special one-off episode, is now airing in two parts. The two-part worldwide exclusive of Oprah’s Next Chapter will air as a special simulcast on Friday, January 18 (Part 1), and Saturday, January 19 (Part 2) at 10AM (SIN/HK time) on both Discovery Channel and TLC in Southeast Asia and across Asia-Pacific.

Internationally, the special will air the same night on Discovery Channel across Latin America and will roll out in other international markets across Europe, Middle East and Africa beginning Friday, January 18 and the weekend on Discovery Channel, TLC, DMAX, Real Time and Home & Health. The exclusive interview with Lance Armstrong premieres globally on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9PM ET/PT in the U.S.

In the interview, Winfrey speaks with Armstrong at his home in the only interview since the seven-time Tour de France winner was stripped of his titles and dropped from millions of dollars in endorsement deals after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released an extensive report accusing the renowned cyclist of doping throughout his career. According to reports, Winfrey says that Armstrong admits to the doping allegations in an interview that lasted two and a half hours.

Previously, the episode was set to be simultaneously streamed LIVE worldwide on Oprah.com as a special 90-minute episode on January 17 at 9PM ET, and air the day after on Friday, January 18 on Discovery Channel and TLC in Southeast Asia, and across Asia-Pacific.
