Oprah Network and Cablevision Reach Deal
(New York Times) — OWN, Oprah Winfrey’s forthcoming cable channel, will be carried by Cablevision, the companies said Tuesday. The agreement is important because Cablevision was one of the last big gaps in OWN’s distribution footprint, and because Cablevision serves a large swath of the New York metropolitan area. The agreement came just days before OWN’s Jan. 1 start date. Most distributors, like Comcast and DirecTV, already carry the Discovery Health Channel, which OWN is replacing on Jan. 1. But Cablevision did not carry Discovery Health, so it is adding OWN to its cable system. It will be carried on channel 180.
