11 Facts About Oprah Winfrey Network

Oprah Winfrey Network is an American multinational basic cable channel jointly owned by Warner Bros.

Harpo remains a "significant" minority stakeholder and Oprah Winfrey Network is contracted with the channel through at least 2025.

Oprah Winfrey Network would serve as the chairwoman of the channel, which was expected to deal in factual programming oriented towards her personal philosophy of "living your best life"; this would include topics such as health, love, parenting, and spirituality.

However, her involvement was limited to being an investor and eventually offering it an after-show component after deciding not to offer her reruns to the network; Winfrey distanced herself from the channel when discussing OWN, stressing the importance of actually having influence over programming when participating in such ventures.

Harpo Productions denied the report, stating that Oprah Winfrey Network "has not made a final decision as to whether she will continue her show in syndication beyond [2011]".
