OWN Network Facing the Axe?


It's not looking good for Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network...

According to reports OWN is facing more than $150 million in losses this year and it's co-owner Discovery is considering pulling the plug altogether. Unless something happens and fast, OWN could be facing the axe.

  3. Don't worry about your network crashing, you better worry about where your soul is going when you die!


    You aint gonna live forever, just ask those that have already died.


    The Bible says in Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verse 5

    '' For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.''

    I guess everything she touches doesn't turn to gold.

    @1:01 some versions say "their memory is forgotten", so I've always taken it to mean that the dead no longer have memory. But it could mean that, generations down the line, the person is forgotten if there is no one alive who can remember.

    I knew OWN was in trouble with the news that Oprah is trying to get Maria Shriver to do/produce a show. Can't Oprah get any fresh talent for a change? If she thinks Maria Shriver can pull in the ratings she's sadly mistaken. Oprah ought to just throw in the towel on OWN and call it a day. If she's smart she won't spend her own money on trying to revive OWN because she'll never get it back.

    I'm hoping they'll put Discovery Health back on to replace OWN. The stories of Dr. G. Medical Examiner doing autopsies were more exciting than the usual OWN programming.

    Hey, I just watched Dr. G this morning at 3 AM. Do you notice that Dr. G is always smiling when she's talking about how people died? With those big teeth of hers. Love the show though!

    Oprah needs to sit back and enjoy her money, and then find people on the low and help them realize their dreams, that's what I do with my money. people are so surprised when they find out that someone has paid their $500 grocery bill or that their rent is paid for the next six months. There is nothing better than helping those who need it, or watching people realize their dreams...this is what Oprah needs to do! She also needs to watch her health.

    I can only imagine how hard it must be to run an entire network.

    Stedman put a spell on her because she's in love with Gail and not him!

    I hope she continues to be successful, but she needs to relax, she's worked hard her whole life. Sit down and travel the world for the next ten years. She could become a motivational speaker and STILL collect millions.

    @3:54 I hear you. Helping out others is the best way to feed your soul. More people should do it.

    Anyway, this is not a good look for Oprah. This has to be quite humiliating for someone of her influence and caliber. I wonder how she's taking all of this? I remember she talked about how disappointed she felt when the world didn't accept her movie, 'Beloved.' The failure of OWN is on a whole new level.

    Personally, I fear for her safety. She's lost millions of dollars in this partnership with the Discovery Network. You know she's pissed off a lot of people.

    I wonder why she never tried to acquire the rights to AMC and OLTL...those two soaps alone would've brought in huge viewership for her channel...

    Maybe she needs to find out what viewers want to see. I watch OWN all the time.

    I think Oprah took on too much, on top of that, there are tons of people who might not want to see her succeed. If she can get better programming, she can probably save her network.

    Discovery Health shows were switched over to another channel called FITHLTH, all of the Discovery Health shows are now shown on that channel.

  35. What killed OWN is this simple celebrity ass kissing from Oprah. She keeps promoting the same kind of people and never talks about real issues. Instead she exploits people to an extent. What made Oprah successful is because her show came on right after the soap opera....all my children, one life to live, and general hospital......those viewers automatically drop on her show.

    But now....hearing psycho babble 24-7 on OWN is not appealing no more. No one wants to hear Oprah telling the what to do nor parade the same elite NWO propaganda on her network. OWN = New World Order.
