Monday morning on CBS This Morning April 2nd 2012 Oprah spoke very openly about her regrets about her network O.W.N. It was recently made known that Oprah has fired more than 20% of her O.W.N staff and the cancellation of The Rosie Show and for the first time she was very open about he ups and downs of her new network. Oprah admitted her networ started a bit to soon she referred to her network as "Getting married when you know your not ready" she also stated that if she was writing a book about this journey she would name it 101 mistakes. during the interview she said she would not throw in the towel on the network because "I'm a very driven person, I believe that i am here to fulfill a calling" she said "I will die doing what I love to do." during the CBS interview Oprah acknowledged the negative press the network has been receiving referring to it as "Overwhelming". Oprah made it very cear that the network cannot just be about her it has to be based off of her philosophy. She ended the interview with "I feel better about our network today than I ever have."As a viewer and a fan of Oprah and O.W.N I enjoyed that interview because for as long as the network has ben on Oprah has never addressed the downs of her network so it was suprising to hear finally speak about it. I totally agree with her and also think that the network started to early perhaps if she would have waited until The Oprah Winfrey Show was completely over to start the network. I think that the network got off to such a rocky start because Oprah was trying to focus on two dfferent things, the show was in its last season and the pressure was on for it to be the best one of 25 years and at the same time her network launched and there was such high expectations for it to be great. I think had Oprah waited maybe another year should would have been able to take a break after the show and do it the right way.
