OWN Now Available on DISH Network
If you are like most Americans, you are very familiar with Oprah Winfrey. From her popular talk show to her magazine to her humanitarian efforts, it might seem like Oprah is everywhere you look. Well, as of January 1, it looks like Oprah just got a little more famous (if that is possible)!
Already dominating network television, she decided to move onto cable television by launching OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network on New Years Day. OWN is exclusively a cable and satellite television station and is not available to people only receiving local television stations.
Luckily, if you are a DISH Network customer, you already have full access to OWN. All DISH network customers who subscribe to America's Top 200 DISH Network Package or above will be able to watch OWN on channel 189.
OWN will feature many exciting programs including Your OWN Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star, a reality show hosted by Oprah herself. You can also expect to see plenty of programming from Dr. Oz, Suze Orman and Dr. Phil. OWN will also regularly broadcast movies such as Precious. Additionally, plans to make documentaries with Julia Roberts and Mariel Hemingway, among others, are in the works.
Lone Star, We Barely Knew Ye
After just 2 episodes, Lone Star was unceremoniously cancelled by television programming executives at Fox TV. Oddly, the new show about an oil tycoon/con man living a double life was well received by critics.
Lone Star was in a pretty tough time slot, airing immediately after the smash Fox hit, House. On the surface, following House might seem like a good thing. Let's just say it can be, but in this instance it was probably detrimental to Lone Star because the target audiences are not the same.
Lone Star is a show targeted at young, hip males, which is a very tough market with which to compete on Monday nights because of the very strong lineups elsewhere, including Monday Night Football on ESPN, Dancing with the Stars on ABC, and Two and a Half Men on ABC.
For my money, however, I say that Lone Star will be back on TV sooner than later, and if Fox keeps it I'd expect to see it in its new incarnation on cable network FX. It wouldn’t surprise me to see another network that is looking for a show to compete with some of the hip, male-oriented shows offered by USA Network and AMC to pick it up and run with it.
For now it's off the air, but DISH Network has an incredible lineup of great new series this fall and winter just waiting for you. Tune in and see why millions of Americans choose DISH Network for their premium home television entertainment.
