Oprah Winfrey Starts OWN Cable Television Network

The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) will debut in 2008 with availability to 70 million homes on what is now the Discovery Health Network. OWN is being created through a cashless transaction and is a 50-50 venture by Discovery and Winfrey's Harpo Productions, with Winfrey as its chairwoman and enjoying editorial control. Winfrey's Harpo Productions will be responsible for OWN's programming, branding and creative vision. Discovery Communications' contribution will be its nine-year-old Discovery Health Channel, as well as distribution, origination and other operational requirements.

Hey Oprah, feel free to create a program around the AAEA concept. We have plenty of ideas and talent over here. So if you stumble upon this suggestion, please feel free to contact us. If you check us out you will see that the rabbit goes very deep.
