A bomb squad was summoned to Oprah Winfrey's TV studio on Friday afternoon following reports of a suspicious package.

Chicago Bomb and Arson authorities descended upon Harpo Studios at about 6:20am EDT after one employee found a strange backpack with wires protruding from it resting in a flower bed.

Officials used "remote diagnostics" to analyze the backpack's contents and were able to determine that the package did not contain a bomb.  Authorities did not reveal exactly what was in the backpack, however.

The studio wasn't evacuated during the investigation although streets in the area were closed for approximately three hours.
