Okay now that I have your attention...No nothing really major or drastic but I find it kind of upsetting. Now you may or may not be an Oprah Winfrey fan but I love her show...She's had many great shows with great topics and had in the past featured Dr. Oz whom I'm a great fan (wish I could find a great compassionate informed doc like him). Now I just heard on the news she's considering moving her regular network show to a cable program. What's the big deal you might ask? I DON'T HAVE CABLE. Yes folks I'm one of the few oddballs not to have cable...it was a toss up...pay the cost of cable and no internet access or pay for internet and no cable--guess what won? Besides I don't even watch that much TV, save a few programs including Oprah.

Now I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that doesn't have cable...so if you are a fan of Oprah......write her...tell her you oppose the idea of her moving to cable which would leave us that don't have cable missing her programs. Contact her via her own website.

Are you a fan of Oprah Winfrey Show...if she moved to cable would it affect you? Protest her intentions...I did.

Contact her here.

Honestly I don't care WHERE Oprah goes, I don't have TV nor cable. Too expensive for cable, we gave it up BEFORE we got internet. But I am sure there will be some disappointed people, she appears to have quite the following. Good luck!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

Uh---I always meant to ask....why don't you have TV? Like I said I don't watch much TV but at least I can pop a DVD or VHS tape and watch a movie via TV (like a zillion times like Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter,etc, etc etc)--I just don't trust the on-line movie thingies as they might have viruses


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7305)   ranked 472 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

Oh I have A tv, but no TV stations hooked up. We watch dvd's and have a pretty good library of that. Out here, if you have an antenna, you get mostly crap. I have the internet and radio and that suits me fine. My son plays outside A LOT! LOL!

hiya Pye

I like Oprah, but wouldn't say I'm a huge fan or anything. I'm not sure if any of her shows are currently running on t.v. but I do have cable so I'd still be able to view her show. I won't join in the protest though...simply because I'm not sure if U.K. votes would count?

myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

Well since from what I can understand, her show is broadcast worldwide, so yeah, I think your vote would count...LOL

Well, I'm not a fan of Oprah, but my friend is. She has cable, so I guess it wouldn't affect her. But I think you can see some of her shows via the internet. At any rate, I know my friend manages to catch some that way when she comes over to use the internet. (I'm like you, can only afford one, and prefer internet.)


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

Nope you can't see a whole show on the internet at least not her's...besides who the frick wants to watch a show on computer...I'd rather be cozy to watch a show since I'm on the computer all the time sitting on a hard captain's chair

I heard about this last night. I don't think she'd do it. I don't watch Oprah, but I don't think she'd do it at all. Maybe she would do an extra show on cable, possibly. But I don't think she'd quit her show on regular TV.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

I sure hope she doesn't leave network TV..her show is one of the few I do watch since I don't watch much to begin with

Hi pyewacket, I must say I was quite pleased when I saw that Oprah had reached Greek tv a few years back. Unfortuantely it was the most awful case of dubbing I've ever seen and proved quite impossible to watch. You could hear Oprah saying a couple of words in American and then it was immediately dubbed into unsynchronised Greek, the whole thing was an utter shambles. Why they couldn't just have left it alone and put sub titles on.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

I hate when they do a dubbing thing even for movies and agree they should use subtitles instead

am sure those who like her and dont have cable should right her.
Could it be that the station she is with is cancelling hr contract!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (11552)   ranked 222 out of 37,940 in life  3 weeks ago

I can't imagine it would be the station canceling her contract...she's a big money maker for them

i am a huge fan of oprah too. but here in the philippines we don't see her show in any local channel. it is in the local cable channel too. so if we don't have cable we can't watch it. but i don't watch it any more cause i don't know what cable channel she is in my local cable. she used to be televised in one local tv long time ago but since it was taken out of teh local channel and got moved to cable channel i have hard time remembering what cable channel i can see her and what time. and specially kind of mixed the channels in our tv so it is really hard to memorize on what channel goes to what channel. you know what should be on channel 6 for cable because of some problem with my tv channeling you would see the cable 6 on like cable 24 and so every thing is mixed up and it can't follow the channel assigned by our local cable company. but other tv is working well and does not mixed up the channel but i got tired to trace where in channel i should watch her as i often switch tv as i change location in my place. sometimes i am on my living room sometimes in my bed room. so i have to memorize the channel on one tv and the channel on the other tv though it is same station but different channel on tv.

just gave up to follow her on cable.

Hi pye,


I used to watch Oprah, a long time ago but we can no longer get the channel she is on or, we cannot have cable in our area at the moment, don't know why as everyones else in the UK can, but if she is moving to Cable, it may mean she will be getting more money, and you know go else whare if they can get more money.


Bright Blessings.


Tamara

LOL--I don't think the enticement of more money would make her move to cable...she's one of the richest people in the world...sure hope she stays on network TV
