Oprah Fights To Save OWN

Oprah Winfrey ended her 25 year long run on her talk show to go behind the cameras of her O.W.N. network.

Unfortunately, OWN isn’t doing as well as expected, so the talk show queen has no choice but to return in a new show.

The new show will be called Oprah’s Next Chapter, and it will premiere in January. The program will have Oprah visiting Steven Tyler at his home in New Hampshire, traveling to Haiti with Sean Penn two years after the devastating earthquake that rocked the island nation, and also having a sleepover with Paula Deen at her Georgia estate.

Rosie O’Donnell‘s talk show was promoted with a lot of fan-fare only to get terrible ratings. The premiere episode only brought in about 497,000 on October 10th and since, the ratings have dropped to approximately 200,000.

It is likely that if Rosie’s ratings don’t pick up, her show will get canceled. Even bestie Gayle King‘s show on OWN hit the skids… Gayle said goodbye to the fledgling network and hello to co-hosting The Early Show.

Let’s see if the diva of daytime talk shows still has it in her to pull in enough viewers to save the network. Fingers crossed!
