Oprah Admits Her OWN Is Underachiever

post thumbnail If you listened carefully,�it sure sounded like Oprah Winfrey is starting to acknowledge what everybody else seems to know: that OWN -- her cable channel joint venture with Discovery Communications -- has been a disappointment since it was launched in January. ?We?re all about raising this child, and it does indeed take a village,? the talk-show hostess told an audience of advertisers and ad buyers at Discovery's upfront presentation Thursday. She added that ?we are all learning more and more about the viewers.? She promised�that, once her syndicated daytime talk show�ends in May,�?I get to devote my full attention to OWN,? but not until September. OWN's�live total day ratings among people between ages 25 and 54 were down 3.8% in the first quarter from the numbers that the channel it replaced, Discovery Health, delivered during the same period last year.
