It appears that Oprah's efforts with her own cable channel is coming to grief with heavy financial losses, programming that doesn't appeal to many viewers and just not enough cable/satellite TV systems carrying the channel.
Alas, most everyone here on FR isn't offering her sympathy, though.

I think OWN qualifies as "imperial over-reach."

Discovery has told Oprah that she’ll need to START covering half of the the losses out of her own pocket or they’re going to shut the channel down. Grab some popcorn...

Hey Orka, how's that hope-n-change workin out for you now?
The unemployed can't afford premium cable tv channels......elections have consequences.
In a twisted piece of irony, maybe she can find the shoulder of some fat harpy with a talk show to cry on.

I knew it was the death-knell for her leaving over the air TV.
That she had also said leading up to it she didn’t want to work as hard as she had been.

I think you will never see a large, short woman move as fast to get outta there as Oprah, if it could decrease her money.

LOVE IT! Maybe the Kenyan in the White Hut will socialize the channel for you, O.

The Discovery Networks execs are taking over and taking the appropriate steps to void their contract with her.

Who is waiting in the wings IMHO to pick it up on the cheap?
Glenn Beck.
We would then have a conservative network, FAUX has let us down...
If he does, it would be the ultimate Schadenfreude...

Soon can’t come soon enough except it would be nice if her $$$ stash was depleted some more so it wouldn’t be available for The Annointed One.
