The losses at Oprah Winfrey’s stumbling cable channel are approaching a staggering $330 million, according to a report over the weekend.

And now industry insiders are predicting the Oprah Winfrey Network will not be able to survive another year if it does not find a hit show and make a dramatic turnaround.

Discovery, which partnered 50-50 with Winfrey to launch the network and has been underwriting its costs, has invested nearly $600 million in it since 2008, according to an extensive report in Businessweek magazine.

But since it started on the air in January 2011, “OWN may have lost as much as $330 million,” the magazine reports. ...

I bet very little of that loss is actually Oprah's money.

Well, clearly Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil haven't done a full-blown series of shows on this little factoid. They haven't investigated to see how far the damage has gone, how many have contemplated suicide, how many have actually resorted to drug abuse for this catastrophe.

I mean, we're looking at entire GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE that would be adversely impacted by this catastrophic incident. It really is a shame.

Not to worry. Obama will give her a bailout with our tax dollars. After all she is a black woman which qualifies her in two ways for subsidies.

Hell, she's probably real good at pickin' cotton. Ain't that what her character did in that movie she done -- The Color Purple?

There is a theory out there that her endorsement of Obama is what started the ratings decline on her show and is what has led to low ratings on OWN.

Of course having a caustic gasbag like Rosie O'Donnell on screen doesn't help either.  :fuelfire:

Actually not a theory TRG, Oprah used to be somewhat apolitical on the air......she would invite candidates from both parties on the show, and interview them with relative objectivity.

When she came out with her slobbering endorsement of Obama, her ratings plummeted 30% overnight, and continued sliding from that point forward.

Her target demo was married women, 24 - 45, middle income, not working.  IOW surburban/rural housewives.....not exactly a Democrat stronghold.

Poor business judgement for a woman that is supposedly very bright......

You would have a hard time convincing her and her liberal friends of that fact. Kinda funny because they are so entrenched in their radical ideology that common sense just gets thrown right out the window.
