Oprah Is Leaving Syndicated TV
Oprah Winfrey is expected to soon announce that she will be moving her show exclusively to her OWN cable network in 2011. A joint deal between Oprah and the Discovery Channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network is poised to launch in 70 million homes that same year. Her popular show will likely move to OWN on the heels of the network launch, as reported by The New York Daily News.
Oprah will be giving up the lucrative licensing and distribution deals her show now has with stations that syndicate her show internationally. In addition, Winfrey will move her staff and studios from her home base of Chicago to the future LA offices of OWN — which will likely lead to layoffs. This business decision has already cost the Discovery Channel millions of dollars as the cable giant has been forced to shuffle staff and resources in anticipation of the change. Both sides in this deal are gambling that these sacrifices will be worth it in the end. But what about Ms. Winfrey’s relationship with the public?
On the business side, some question whether it is really a good move for Oprah to take her show, which is now seen in 140 countries, to a relatively minor cable channel. But this actually seems like a desirable next step for Oprah, who is already a media queen. She is now extending her queendom to include a more concrete stake of the market. As a personality, she has tremendous mindshare. With her OWN cable network, she will make her personal identity into a tangible company. And if the general public is growing disenchanted with her, the time is definitely right for her to rely less on her personal magnetism and more on her business acumen.
