*Sunday’s two-hour premiere of Oprah Winfrey’s new primetime series “Oprah’s Next Chapter” garnered the network’s highest Sunday premiere ever on OWN 1.1 million total viewers.
The premiere episode, which featured an intimate interview with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler at his lake house in Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, posted the highest ratings ever in the 9-11 p.m. time period (up +463% among women 25-54 versus the Sunday 9-11 p.m. December 2011 time period average), built through its second hour, and garnered double digit growth across all key demos versus year ago network launch numbers.
This was the highest rated premiere for a series on OWN outside of the network’s launch weekend only behind the two hour premiere of “Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes” on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2011, making it the second highest telecast for the network to date across all key demos.
she just doesnt get it. steven tyler? huh?? joel olsteen?? what?…why…what the he11 is she doing?
I missed the premiere last Sunday not that I was interested in Steven Tyler but hopefully, her show will get better and the guests to interview will also. HINT to Oprah – Do interviews on our people and not the JayZ or Denzel etc there are so many other blacks she can interview that have an exciting life story.
