In order to be successful OWN needs to ramp up original programming instead of airing shows that have previously appeared on OTHER Discovery networks.
Last night was 3 hours of 48 Hours Mystery, which were re-packaged for TLC. This afternoon is several hours of I Escaped:Real Prison Breaks originally aired on Investigation Discovery. Tomorrow will be a full night of On The Case With Paula Zahn-again on ID originally.
Some of the shows within the next week (and the network that originally aired them) will be Unusual Suspects (ID), more On The Case With Paula Zahn and more 48 Hours Mystery, Police Women of Broward County (TLC). Movies include Prince of Tides and Philadelphia.
In the next couple of weeks it will begin showing new episodes of Welcome to Sweetie Pie's (reality which I didn't watch) and 2 new reality shows Beverly's Full House and Leave it to Niecy, both reality shows.
What the network needs is something of substance to draw in and retain viewers.
I was one who looked forward to the network. It didn't take me long to realize it didn't live up to the promotion hype. I rarely watch it.
Police Women and the ID shows I saw when they first aired on their respective networks.
