Why OWN : the Oprah Winfrey network isn't doing well

Opinion  by Samuel Jacobs for mychiller media

   OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network , launched on January 1st this year. It had hype and tons of love for it. That has not made ratings. Discovery , which owns 50% of the channel including the space it inhabits on your TV had a channel before called Discovery Health which was used to be the starting spot for OWN, but it's ratings have been down from when it was Health.  I can't help ask why is the network not doing well? There's no Oprah! Hold on a second what was the best show on the network? It was a show about Oprah's show.  Oprah is not her own network alot , she's on her magazine more.  Oprah fans like Oprah , yes they'll read books and products she recommends.

Opinion: A story about CBS Evening News with Katie Couric

Straight Forward  TV  CBS  Katie Couric Opinion 
 #JoshuaOnline  By Daniel for mychiller's media news

   Yesterday , CBS announced that "60 minutes" correspondent, Scott Pelley will take over for Katie Couric on the "CBS Evening News" this summer.
 Katie Couric took over with fanfare in Fall of 2006 , she was labeled the first woman solo permanent anchor of a US network's evening newscast on a weeknight.  She was changing from NBC'S Today show to the big evening news on CBS.
CBS Evening News has been in third place for years and years. It is hard to bring a show from 3rd to 1st. CBS was in problems after Dan Rather was forced down by the network.

 Ms.Couric had things working against her from the start. First of, she was going to a 3rd place newscast with high expectations. NBC was stable at the time and still is at number 1, ABC was going through the post Jennings era and the bad hand of what happened to Bob Woodruff. ABC acted calm throughout their ordeal and found Gibson to be a fit.
