By Alex Weprin 

  • Sunday’s installment of OWN’s “Oprah’s Next Chapter featured the biggest “get” yet for the network, with Oprah interviewing Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobbi Kristina. The scoop also scored in the ratings, with OWN garnering 3.5 million viewers for the program more than twice as many that tuned in for the previous ratings record-holder, an interview with preacher Joel Osteen

  • ABC’s Diane Sawyer has an exclusive follow-up interview with Jaycee Dugard, the girl who was kidnapped as a child and kept in captivity for 18 years. Sawyer interviewed Dugard last Summer in a two-hour primetime special. The new interview will air tomorrow on “ABC World News,” and on other ABC News platforms. Dugard will talk about what she is doing now.
  • Fox News has ordered a pair of primetime special featuring radio personality Mancow Muller. The specials will air March 17 and 24, with a focus on–of course–politics. The shows will be taped in front of a live studio audience in New York.
