Members greens_dupres Posted July 1, 2013 Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 They need to promo the hell out of this since they only have 2 weeks to get the word out. OWN is buried way up in the 100s in my channel lineup (and I imagine for most cable) so the odds of people stumbling upon it while flipping the way they might if it was Bravo or Lifetime seems slim.

Members Eric83 Posted July 1, 2013 Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 Wow just realized OLTL will return to televison, 45 years from the day they originally premiered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I was waiting for a promo. They do need to promote the hell out of it. O herself needs to be tweeting on the first day, IMO, just like they had her in this promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 OWN is on DirecTV channel 279, so it's not completely buried on there, but I have heard on a lot of cable companies it is buried. I don't get OWN at the moment because I have the lowest package I can get, LOL. So hopefully people even just browsing will be able to find it. They should also promote the hell out of it during Perry's shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allmc2008 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wonder if any of the other networks will be able to run promos? I may be crazy for saying this but I am expecting Y&R ratings. Or at least B&B!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 At first I thought the promo was user-generated. It looks cheap. But whatever, at least there's a promo. And I hope Oprah knows that "Adam Chaaandler" is often away on business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 It just moved from third tier here to the first tier, and ive hard from a few people in different areas it was also moved to their cheapest tier with bravo, lifetime, we and oxygen as well.

Members Chris B Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I don't love that promo, but I will take anything. It's a good start. I would love to have promos like on SOAPnet with the actors doing bumpers, maybe even with Oprah. And of course promos that feature clips. That is whats going to get people tuning in. Show Debbi Morgan on last weeks episodes and you have a hit. They just need to focus on the powerful stuff and less fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LindaTNo1 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 The new schedule makes less and less sense to me. I believe that PP is finding their way through the maze of ratings, people watching the show, the splicing and dicing and extreme editing going on, and a host of problems. It is my hope that the new fall episodes will pick up steam and we can get out of this Summer Slump with these episodes coming from the fired writing team. PP has said that there will be some new people coming on board the show with surprises and such and such. I am willing and ready to be patient and just keep watching the show and get through this summer slow down. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Who is making all these decisions and why?

Members LindaTNo1 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 You make a very valid point. Yes, promo work ASAP. I don't know why the actors are not continuing to get out there and talk up the show more with the extended LONG hiatus going on right now. I guess some of them have other projects lined up to fill in the time inbetween block filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well it's Prospect Park's job to book the actors. They did a decent promo push at the beginning, but that was rushed and basically dropped once the shows premiered. We don't get updated promos like regular shows highlighting the storylines. Why isn't Debbi Morgan out promoting the show? I don't think they've had her do one talk show to promote this. They need to get her, Darnell and Sal on BET, TV One, etc. and OWN.
