OWN
In 2011, she launched her own cable network called Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The network largely features entertainment and lifestyle programming targeting African American audiences, and reruns of talk show programming from the Harpo Studios library (including The Oprah Winfrey Show). Initially a 50/50 joint venture, Discovery acquired a larger stake in the network in 2017 and again in December 2020, when Discovery increased its ownership in OWN from 73% to 95%. Harpo remains a “significant” minority stakeholder and Winfrey is contracted with the channel through at least 2025.
