Just when we thought things were beginning to look up for Oprah Winfrey, her highly successful magazine takes a fall. According to a new report, O, The Oprah Magazine is down millions of dollars in advertising sales in comparison to last year.

The Association of Magazine Media reports that ad sale revenue for O, The Oprah Magazine was $48.8 million in 2011. However, this year ad sales are at a low of $34.2 million, which translates to a decrease of 24.1 percent. The magazine's newsstand sales have also been declining as of late.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, in the second half of 2011 sales declined by a whopping 32 percent, while on average the decline with other major magazines was merely 10 percent.

Well she took herself out of the national spotlight.
Of course there isn’t going to be the same patronage without seeing her daily.

Remember Jordan. 70 million in advertising, retires and the next year it is 50 million, the next 20 million; then he makes a come back and it is at 75 million.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Yeah but she’s also 58 years old. There is no comeback.

Women in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s aren’t interested in the same topics as her post menopausal crowd.

“Just when we thought things were beginning to look up for Oprah Winfrey”

I never thought that? What are they on about? Everyone knew, or should have known, she’d slide after her show went off the air. Oh, how fickle is the public. Remember when Phil Donahue was a star? Me neither.

No one watches her cable network or reads her magazine, nor ever will unless they transform into something completely different. That her magazine is losing money is a surprise only to people who also think the dollar will reign forever.

Always viewed her audience as sheeple. Doing everything she tells them to, caring about everything she says to..

I cant tell you how many times during the 90s I heard “But Oprah says...”

I am glad shes got zero ratings.. that’s what she gets for supporting a zero.

“I thought they’d follow her off a cliff.”

You have to see her to follow her. How do you know which cliff to jump off if she suddenly disappeared from your tv?

yup...she bet on the wrong horse and even though I never really watched her show, a lot of women I know did- and they were not happy after she drank the kool aid...it was then that they woke up and realized she was putting race before brains and just supported Obama because he was black. It wasn’t like he had a great track record; he had no record at all! So they could clearly see her racism when she went all ga-ga for him for no reason other than color.

That was the beginning of the end for her....

Nothing would make me happier than seeing "Oprah" relegated to a life lived in a 900 sq ft condo in Yonkers and a gross income of 50K a year.And a net worth of nothing more than $500/K.

I think she'd hang herself rather than live such a Third World existence.

Or live as most of her fellow African American ghetto sisters do.

Was chatting w/ an AA friend the other day who says she can’t stand Oprah. To them it’s obvious that Oprah could have done so much more for people and especially women of her own race, yet chose instead to build failing schools for girls in Africa.

She’s a fake — and people can see it — and not just white people. Money ruined her, and her own ego. Her support for Obama was icing on the cake.
