OWN
I'm not a TV watcher at all, but my wife watches. So we have Shaw Satellite. She gets about 120 channels but watches the same half dozen most of the time.. One of the ones she likes is called OWN. It's the Oprah channel.
The last few days, when she tries to get it, there's a message on screen saying the channel is not available. I've seen messages before saying "You are not subscribed to this channel." but this is the first time I've seen a message saying it's unavailable. It suggests to me that OWN is now defunct. I googled it and didn't see any news that it's defunct, but it says it's owned by Corus. I understand Corus is having financial difficulty. Could that explain why one of their channels is no longer available?
After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

Re: OWN
APTNE has been removed by Sunwire in the north. The regular APTN is still showing on my listings . This just began over the weekend.

Thanks for that.
Now, come down to London and break that news to my wife.

Re: OWN
I saw Oprah live in Toronto about 11 years ago, she did 2 tapings of Oprah's life class, Tony Robbins, Bishop TD Jakes, Ilyana Van Zant, Deepak Chopra were all speakers on the bill and then they were interviewed on a panel discussion, there were about 8500 for each taping with an average ticket price being $250 (not to mention sponsors, product, books, CD's (back then, kids, we had CD's) if you do the math each show brought in over $3,000,000 not to mention ad revenue for TV.
One of the funniest moments was since the audience were 90% women, the women's washroom lines were scary long. So, women came into the men's room, I remember reminding them to leave the seat up!
In closing, I am glad I went, even though I was never "ga-ga" over Oprah...it was surreal being there that day!
The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...
