Just curious...Did Orca Winfrey put any of her own money into her OWN network? Blowing $150 million in less than 9 months - she's aspiring to be another Obama!

Was it [$150M] from the (failed) stimulus? Just asking.

Didn't think of that, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I do remember that OWN is some sort of venture with Discovery Networks, with Discovery providing the bandwidth access formerly known as DiscoveryHealth.

I don't remember/know if they tossed any cash into the deal, but I got to believe they promoted it in-kind on other Discovery channels.

I vaguely recall seeing some sort of commercials for it.

OWN dumped the channel's first president (a friend of Oprah) last spring, after about four months of operation.
