It appears that Oprah's efforts with her own cable channel is coming to grief with heavy financial losses, programming that doesn't appeal to many viewers and just not enough cable/satellite TV systems carrying the channel.
Alas, most everyone here on FR isn't offering her sympathy, though.

I think OWN qualifies as "imperial over-reach."

Discovery has told Oprah that she’ll need to START covering half of the the losses out of her own pocket or they’re going to shut the channel down. Grab some popcorn...

Hey Orka, how's that hope-n-change workin out for you now?
The unemployed can't afford premium cable tv channels......elections have consequences.
In a twisted piece of irony, maybe she can find the shoulder of some fat harpy with a talk show to cry on.

I knew it was the death-knell for her leaving over the air TV.
That she had also said leading up to it she didn’t want to work as hard as she had been.

Soon can’t come soon enough except it would be nice if her $$$ stash was depleted some more so it wouldn’t be available for The Annointed One.

Basing all your hopes for success on a Rosie O’Donnel hate show is not what I’d call a financially sound decision.
