The Oprah Winfrey Network
Oprah Winfrey will be getting her own network. The moribund Discovery Health Network — which focused on medical programming with a minor in pregnancies — will now become OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. From AP writer David Bauder:
”The cash-free transaction involved Winfrey turning over her Web site to Discovery, while the communications company makes her chairman of the network, which is currently seen in 68 million homes, said David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief.
”’The focus of the channel will be the focus of Oprah’s brand, which is the educate and inspire people to live the best life they can,’ Zaslav said.”
