Oprah Winfrey is poised to become chief executive of her cable channel, OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network, starting sometime in the fall, according to people close to the venture. She will also serve as chief creative officer of the network, these people said, expanding on her previous role as chairman of the channel.
Ms. Winfrey's expected ascent to CEO comes after OWN has endured several management shake-ups and suffered mediocre ratings.
At points this spring, OWN's viewership fell below the audience for the little-watched Discovery Health, the channel OWN replaced. Full story here!
