Oprah Making Her Way Back to the Top


It's been a long hard struggle for ratings at Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network but Oprah is finally starting to see light at the end of tunnel...

According to recent reports ratings at OWN are up over 14 percent in it's core demographic of women 25-40. OWN grew more than 20 percent in viewership in the latest period and over 50 percent in the third quarter. Year-to-date OWN is up over 25 percent.

Lol Oprah stays winning, and you know what I ain't mad at her. I'll take more women like Oprah over the wack hoes from Love and hip hop, basket ball wives, and real house wives franchise any day!

So after the Discovery channel to creative OWNership,her ratings improved. Gotcha'
This means more ass kissing of the Kardashians.
LaToya has a reality show coming to OWN,more family fun.

I'm not mad at Oprah! Successful black woman, helping all types of people, and she gives all glory to God. We need more highlights of other black women accomplishing their goals. First billionaire black woman, first black woman with her OWN network, and First black woman to send 500 black men to college, build school/ homes in Africa etc.... If this black woman can open doors, so can other black woman.

Expect more ratchetness to keep those ratings afloat. Okra's probably working out the details with Kris Jenner to have Kim and Kanye get married on OWN.

Sick of GLORY WHOREDOM! Give it a rest already. Nothing stays on top forever; everthing has a shelf life. There are no laws that defies gravity, sheesh! In order for her to stay relevant, she will have to get on the ratchet train, too . . .

No thanks! Too much of that already . . matter of fact, there are few celebrities with any class actually that I care about anyway!

NEXT???!!!

Oprah went and reach the urban community. She has succumbed to the pressure. She is entertaining people she wouldn't entertain on her show on ABC. e.g. 50 cent, the karsmashians, an now Rihanna. Soon Frankie will be next

I see hatersss. This woman can't win in the black community, because SOME of y'all be hating hard. Look at these field nigga's mad because she is the first BLACK woman to succeed and did everything she said she would do. Y'all field nigga's are such haters. Damn we got other races of field nigga's hating and our OWN field nigga's hating on each. What have y'all hating asses done for our OWN people besides hate, kill, and still from each other. Sit y'all broke, country bunkin, hating asses down and give props when due.

That's because she started raping pop culture to save it. When has she ever cared so much about Jay Z, Rihanna, the Kardashians, etc?

@4:06..The first one though? I'm not hating on her success. I just recognize that the same people she would have never even looked at sideways a year ago are the ones she's running to to save her network.

I can't stand Oprah Winfrey's lyin' ass! This bama is always bragging about having natural hair, lies about it on national television, when the truth is, Oprah's been wearing hair pieces, weaves and half wigs FOREVER!
Fuckin' cow!!!

Oprah, the light at the end of the tunnel is a
Freight Train. White folks ain't checking for 50cent,JZ or Rhianna. They will not save OWN.

Field nigga's always find something wrong with the black person doing something positive. So, what if she had to kiss whitey ass! This black woman has a platform to open doors to all cultures. Why keep bringing up old shit, when I know y'all had to fake it to until you had made it! Go, head Oprah and keep running circles around hating ass field niggas and whitey. Once again I all I see is bullshit after bullshit in blogs and comments full of HATERSSS...

Bee Gee said...

^ Spoken like a true house nigga. "We sick?" Harpo didn't just kiss white ass - she burrowed deep into the muthafugga and nested for decades and the only reason she's comin' out for air is that whitey took a laxative and is shittin' her ass out because she's been in there long enough. Sorry but not everybody sees someone as successful just because they have made a lot of money. But house niggas are typically more shallow than a puddle of rain water so don't wrestle wit that one..

Field niggas, house niggas, black niggas, white niggas, hispanic niggas, asian niggas, indians niggas, broke niggas, rich niggas, straight niggas, gay niggas,democrat niggas, rebuplican niggas, independant niggas, foriegn country niggas, religious niggas, ass kissing niggas, jealous ass niggas, hating ass niggas, smart niggas, dumb niggas, ugly niggas, cute niggas, michael myers looking niggas, all y'all niggas need to shut the fuck up.

I think that she is seeing viewership rise is because of all the hoopla about her channel falling apart. Some people (like me) turned in to see what was doing and have found out that she has some pretty good shows. I originally only turned in to watch Sweetie Pies but now I am enjoying other shows as well. Oprah has learned that people want to see more Oprah hence all of the celebrity interviews which she is very good at. She can make people feel at ease with her, hence her getting Kim K. to admit that she has been on birth control and having sex since the age of 14. She also got 50cent to admit that his beef between the two was manufactured by him to give him more relevance. I hear that she will be interviewing Obama soon. Now if can get Beyoncé/Jay to have a real interview with real questions, that will be ratings gold. Pop culture is here to stay so Oprah might as well jump on that train as well.

As annoying as Oprah is sometimes I still respect her. She tries hard to educate the public on topics like abuse and child molestation. Her channel ratings were low because it was a new station. All most all new stations have that low ratings period. I rather see her doing well than some other idiot famous for making porn or beating up others while yelling "a hit dog will holler" at the top of their lungs.
