Dish Network has launched the Oprah Winfrey Network “OWN” on channel 189. The just-launched network, although it broadcasts in both 480i SD and 1080i HD, is only currently available in standard def 480i on Dish. (DirecTV and AT&T’s U-verse TV carry it in high-definition.)
Shows on OWN network include: “Ask Oprah’s All Stars,” featuring Dr. Phil, Suze Orman and Dr. Mehmet; “Oprah Presents Master Class,” highlighting inspiring stories from Jay-Z, Simon Cowell, Sidney Poitier, and among other guests; “Season 25: Oprah Behind The Scenes,” and “Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star.”
OWN will also feature popular movies and original documentaries including the award-winning “Precious,” “Family Affair,” “Sons of Perdition,” and “Life 2.0.” Original two-hour documentaries produced by OWN feature actors Julia Roberts, Forest Whitaker, Gabriel Byrne and Mariel Hemingway.
Dear Oprah
I have for some years been the owner of the unused, trademark free
and yet to be developed generic domain name, Networkown.com
(Network Our World Now), and much to my surprise when I type it
in on any search engine, separated with or without the .com the immediate
results are Oprah’s, Network OWN, web sites. Network OWN, not
being an acronym but a strong and easy to remember brand name is already in
irreversible use on the websites. With the importance of the internet easy access
I thought you might find this interesting. If not, please disregard this message.
Respectfully,
BD Spicer
thx for the info. it looks like only AT&T has it in HD.
Directv does not carry OWN in High Definition!!
