Good news on the OWN front. The network that Oprah Winfrey started on January 1, 2011 should become profitable during the back-half of 2013 according to her Discovery partner, CEO David Zaslav.
During this week’s earnings conference between Harpo Productions and Discovery, it was revealed that ratings are up 25 percent year-to-date.
The core audience is comprised of women 25-54 who hang on O’s every word. Viewers are getting more face time with the network founder as she continues to crank out a series of high-profile interviews for her popular series ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter.’
Winfrey’s third most viewed interview since OWN first hit the airwaves is the recent two-part Kardashian family chat.
The good news is that billionaire O has deep pockets and can withstand operating in the red for another year.
