Oprah Winfrey’s Network Takes New York

OWN, Oprah’s network, launches New Year’s Day, but a deal had not been in place with Cablevision to carry it in large parts of New York, which we have on good authority is a “top television market.” Until now: OWN and Cablevision have reached terms agreeable to both sides, so the cable provider’s 3 million subscribers will be able to see Oprah’s next-level TV domination. Hooray! [CompanyTown/LAT]
