OPRAH WINFREY SHOW is sooooo low!
Oprah’s numbers are affected by the overall decrease of TV viewing by the nation.
She has also lost those fans that will watch her show everyday no matter what, that includes the ones that used to tape the show and watched it later.
The steep decrease this week; also points out that no matter what kind of marketing approach she chose to boost ratings for the summer; it’s not working.
This show is now used half the time to boost a commercial product or another; it is one long commercial… The recent ‘Twitter’ show was a good example of that.
The show is becoming less about entertainement and more about a desperate grab for income.
Nobody last forever on TV, even Oprah Winfrey. By the time she finishes her 25th season and ends the show; it will be a relief.
