My guess is that the market for chick-oriented cable networks is saturated. OWN can’t draw enough chicks who currently watch Lifetime, Oxygen, WE or any other number of chick-oriented cable networks.
If you look at the programing...it’s like the Lifetime channel...with a bit of Doctor Phil mixed in. I just can’t see a high number of viewers ever coming to the network on a regular basis.
REAL women have better things to do than worship at the altar of Oprah.

Oprah is evil.
Indeed they do. That's why I used the term "chick" instead of "woman."
It’s just so easy to skip past that one.
Her house coat, House “Frau” group watch TV on antenna or the cheaping cable programming. They can’t afford her any more.
Time for a bailout. Oprah is too big to fail.
noprah will probably merge her programming with nobama’s reelection BS and try to fly that. Birds of a feather will go down together.
I use my TV to watch sports.
Sometimes I have to watch a movie with my wife but she regrets it because I tell her how much it sucks. I don’t even like watching movies with me and I am me!
It might cause a seismic ripple that could trigger the San Andreas to give way and voila! no more Hollywood. Too big a risk.

Thr network isn’t going to work. The advertisers are almost as stupid as the women who watch Oprah.
P&G Signs Ad Deal With Winfrey Network
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704133804575197952472441156.html
Procter & Gamble Co. signed an advertising pact valued at more than $100 million with the Oprah Winfrey Network, according to people familiar with the matter, as the television-ad market continues to strengthen.
P&G’s deal with OWN spans three years, following the network’s planned debut next January, the people said. It includes ad time and integrating P&G’s products into some OWN shows, said another person familiar with the deal.
“This is an example of how P&G is always looking for mutually beneficial ways to work with our partners,” said a spokeswoman for the consumer-products company.
Her recommendations are tainted — Authors making up non-fiction books, Obama, etc.
"Your telly network is in the crapper! Good show!"
I think you're me
