Oprah Gets Her Own TV Network

The world’s richest woman in entertainment is about to get a whole lot richer–Oprah Winfrey is getting her own TV network!

Oprah is combining forces with Discovery Communications in a deal that would dissolve the Discovery Health network to create OWN — the Oprah Winfrey Network.

“The focus of the channel will be the focus of Oprah’s brand, which is to educate and inspire people to live the best life they can,” said David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief.

Good maybe we will see more black women on television
Maybe more shows with black men with black women will air.
Maybe more positive and interesting black women living their life.( I think all black women are interesting, poor, uneducated as well as rich and educated we all have a story to tell, and it’s time we told it.
