Members DaytimeFan Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 The problem is that we are in totally different times dealing with different forms of ownership of corporations and expectations are different. Oprah knows it isn't 1973. As well, you're talking about programs, not a whole network. The financial investment and the duty to shareholders is wildly different.

Members Max Posted March 23, 2012 Members Share Posted March 23, 2012 I believe this sentiment has been echoed earlier, but despite how big of a disaster OWN has been so far, it is way too early to say this network is dead. Remember that it took MSNBC about eight or nine years before it found success as a left wing version of FOX News. Prior to that, MSNBC tried--and failed miserably--at being a CNN clone. OWN can still be a success, but it will take many years, and it will also take a huge rebranding effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
