Winfrey would have had a better chance had she kept the daytime show going while launching the network, even if she had to switch the show to run on her network. She had the dough, she had the cash flow. Now all the Oprah addicts have recovered, and things will never be the same.
I never understood that myself. I guess she thought she could just coast by on her “brand” but without a daily show, it is wearing out quick.
Also her support of obama cost her dearly, thou she will never admit it. Getting political like that cost her many watchers that have moved on to other things now.
Well, people are well nigh tired of so many things from the past these days. Oprah is no longer relevent since she is no longer the sole source of a lot of things going on today. Plus, there are more pressing things to think about than her latest freak show topic. Like a lot of other tleevision personalities, she has had her heyday, has more than enough money, and is now at this point part of a carefree past that no longer exists. When things are carefree again, she will at that point be part of the past, not present. Such is entertainment that people easily and quickly move on.
