If OWN Channel Doesn't Work Out, Oprah's Going to Be a Farmer

January 1st marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of Oprah Winfrey’s OWN channel. As you’ve probably heard, 2011 didn’t go so great for OWN. Its ratings routinely failed to top the meager showing of its predecessor Discovery Health. That probably had a lot to do with the fact that for most of the year, the woman whose name makes up two-thirds of the channel acronym wasn’t on her own channel. Not sure whose idea it was to launch OWN without actually having Oprah on the channel.
