Bye Bye Discovery Health

by amya215

Is anyone as upset as I am about Oprah taking over Discovery Health to make her own network? It's not happening until late 2009, but I don't know what I am going to do when it is gone.

I was wondering what was up with that channel! It used to be serious documentary programming but has become DHC Lite. It should be renamed The Multiple Pregnancy Channel.

Now I'm mad. I used to love Discovery Health. It was the only reason I was going to get satellite when I moved.

I never liked Oprah anyway.

I used to like Oprah but she has gone just a little overboard lately. I mean what's with the magazine of hers and she puts a different picture of herself on the cover each month.
And I have a son who won't even let you take his picture. And she wants hers all over the world.
She should just buy a few huge carbon arc lights and put her face up in the sky and be done with it.
Glory be to OPRAH the almighty

Oh, I'm bummed now. Thanks for sharing the news. I think I'll go cry.

I love the shows about 16 kids - it's a fantastic form of birth control for me!

Notice that Oprah will have "full editorial control". I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
