Oprah's Big Mistake

It was announced on the news this morning that poor Oprah has failed with her OWN( Oprah Winfrey Network) investment as American viewers have tuned off and she's losing millions of dollars- not that it would hurt her that much really. In 2011 she earned an estimated small amount of $290 million and after farewelling her popular talk show of 25 years she thought she would crack this market however its now something she is regretting, and if she had her time again she wouldn't do it. She recently dropped comedian Rosie O'Donell from the network and lost $20 million for taking the risk. It is a very different role Oprah is used to, from interviewing people on a couch everyday to running a network, but in reality, she probably has many assistants by her side.

                              Tom Cruise enjoyed being on Oprah's show.


She says she is not going to quit but I believe she should have stuck to what she was doing best, entertaining the stay at home 'moms' and continuing as a world wide phenomenon. It will be interesting to watch this space.
