The Oprah Winfrey Network, the 50/50 joint venture between Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Inc. and Discovery Communications, announced last week it had secured a significant commitment from Procter & Gamble, the world's largest advertiser.
P&G, the manufacturer of dozens of household name brands like Tide, Crest, Tampax and Pampers, committed to a deal reportedly worth more than $100 billion over three years. The agreement, which includes the purchase of time and integration into programming, is unprecedented in that Winfrey's network (OWN for short) will not be on the air until January 2011, does not yet have a full programming lineup and has no audience and therefore no basis for ratings, reach or demographics.

P&G bankruptcy by 2014
Prices of P&G things are GOING UP!!
Billion or Million??
Hasn’t she made enough money all ready???
Their revenue is 80 billion a year, NO WAY they can spend 33 Billion a year in advertising, and especially not all in one (unproven) channel
I just stopped buying all Procter and Gamble products.
I’ll buy from German owned Aldi’s before I buy their products.
Oprah, your president said that at some point you’ve probably made enough money. I think you went over that limit about 10 years ago honey.
The linked story says 100 million, not billion.
“Prices of P&G things are GOING UP!!”
....exactly!...I don’t know what P&G’s profit margins are.... but suffice to say, they’re gonna have to sell a hell of a lot of product to net/net the $33 billion/year they’re gonna give this blowhard lesbian.
I’ve avoided P & G stuff for years....
then they just changed it...I just ran a cut & paste and the paragraph came up like this:
“P&G, the manufacturer of dozens of household name brands like Tide, Crest, Tampax and Pampers, committed to a deal reportedly worth more than $100 billion over three years. The agreement, which includes the purchase of time and integration into programming, is unprecedented in that Winfrey’s network (OWN for short) will not be on the air until January 2011, does not yet have a full programming lineup and has no audience and therefore no basis for ratings, reach or demographics.
Oprah, did you hear the latest?
your Lord and Master obowmao states that an invidual at a certain point should only make just so much money have you heard this Oprah? wachewgonnadoo Oprah?
“The agreement, which includes the purchase of time and integration into programming...”
What does this mean? Is Oprah going to wear Pampers on the show or next do a show where she demos how to insert a tampon. I wouldn’t be shocked considering some of the filth she has shown.
And the point of this graphic?
This is one of the longest running and oldest urban legends and I remember the first time I saw it was in 1977. Honestly!
you'd think P&G would know this...
not to mention that she hooked her star to a marxist
..this is nuts...$100 billion over 3 years for this daytime TV con artist/liar who presumes to tell women how to run their lives...if I were a P&G stockholder I’d be at the next annual meeting demanding to see some proof of return-on-investment.
You are right.
I am not going to buy any of their products.
Just having a bit of fun — as Paved Paradise says, there is an very long-running urban legend about P&G being in league with the devil, as “evidenced” by their logo.
