Oprah's big move

[0:33]" No she's going to have the entire channel all of our own its it's almost as -- A mere five days a week program can no longer contained Oprah she needs to look. Now expand tours and -- channel. It's not exactly clear what she will be you know whether she could -- be doing a lot of programming on that channel or whether she is going to be the -- but. Is this though Oprah is leaving television or going to wait by any stretch of the minute they."

[1:02]" Now Oprah's influence on the ratings it because she leads into in many markets for example here in Boston. Into the evening news which leads into the network news which leads into the prime time offerings she has an incredible affect what momentum can really Make or Break a television station."

[1:17]" Right I mean Oprah's been very good. Four the stations that she's that. Because she she has -- huge audience which that -- into the local looms. Should be profit center for a lot of stations. However the fact that does remain the world she's still ahead -- still on top of the -- in. Afternoon television. The numbers have been going down old and it's an expensive show their -- sub stations in the past. -- year so we've been talking about how they might want to reclaim we're power for an expanded local local do so well. She is not positioned in the ratings quite is as strongly as she Whitaker peak but. Still on top."

[2:38]" And god was one of them but so we are students were as well who'd -- forgotten some of those books. When she was recently on Cape Cod where she attended the funeral for Senator Kennedy. She bid bought some locally produced chicken pies happened to mention that you like them. And they have been able to keep up with the demand it recesses and no matter what she touches it seems to turn to go X Oprah so special."

[3:02]" Well for one thing she is getting buried dedicated. -- audience that. Watches -- it really looks pepper is sort of oh lead four. You know what. What can be thinking about and what attitude to take toward that. A certain things you know admittedly she reminds me of the really be women's magazines the mid nineteenth century which really became almost kind of handbook to was. Polite she's in many ways in the 21 century equivalent of of those kinds of things that everything she's. Really good on television she. Even though she's talking to millions of people she do you use this the -- talking directly -- it that way. Kind of about Walter Cronkite. Or. Johnny Carson or mister Rogers other. Broadcasters we're really good that the meeting."

[4:02]" When the issue was also work has been able to pick out some of some winners and some of the people who appeared on her show was. Frequent guests have gotten their own a television talk shows Dr. Phil and -- draws to name just two of the -- rice."

[4:15]" He'd be Oprah. Oprah magic is better -- style is that deputized doctor bill doctor. And of course the new OW when network the idea of course is to take that. Success rate that she's got a spinning off other shows like Dr. Phil in spin off an entire programming lineup. The big question is going to be whether that is going to work it's easier said than done I think Oprah's. Continued. Success and continued. Cultural influences going to depend on whether. This new network can put together a lineup of programming -- people watch. Talk about it's much they do about. Oprah's current shuttle. And going to be harder to fight now she's done virtually everywhere in the country for free on the channel it's easy to find. Which she start liberal cable channel she's going to be on cable which is not for. -- and in many markets shall be up in the really height people numbers which is gonna take them from do we even the world --"

[5:24]" Our best not to. The year after next but nature science and television all the -- vacuum so. Professor who's next Oprah on regular free TV well."

[5:36]" I think it all depend on the markets. Some markets may decide to replay in that time and expand their local -- some have been talking about that even before and Oprah made that. And now. I don't know what the it is. People that were distributing Oprah Dave -- actual replacement. In mind that there is never a lack of due pretenders to the throat. Outside daytime talk show -- Two take -- step that would Oprah did the other hand maybe have didn't call you had been chosen to be successful so."
