Oprah Winfrey was a ratings powerhouse with her daytime show for many years but her cable channel, OWN, has had its challenges. OWN has had some very successful comedies and dramas but no show can last forever. Which series will be cancelled or renewed next? Stay tuned!
Scripted OWN TV shows listed: All Rise, Ambitions, Cherish the Day, David Makes Man, Delilah, For Better or Worse, Greenleaf, The Haves and the Have Nots, If Loving You Is Wrong, The Kings of Napa, Love Is ___, Love Thy Neighbor, The Paynes, and Queen Sugar.
Last update: Most recent ratings added for All Rise.
There’s a lot of data that OWN execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page or view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
I would be curious to see what the 50+ demographic reveals for the OWN TV show ratings. Is that information currently available and if so please share.
So would I be curious what 50+ demographic area. :-{
I have enjoyed shows on OWN but I’ll have to give them up since HAHN, If Loving You is Wrong, Greenleaf , and Queen Sugar can ONLY be viewed if you have cable or satellite subscriptions. The expense of this luxury is too much on a senior fixed income. Most other networks can be viewed if you download their app but this network won’t allow the above shows to be viewed without paid subscriptions. I have enjoyed seeing talented but now as well known actors and actresses getting the opportunity to show their ablilities but regretfully I must live without… Read more »
Direct TV app can be purchased. It has the OWN network and show. That is how I watch it.
Poor stupid Oprah was on steph colberts crappy late night show promoting her worthless network. Looking desperate to get people to follow her crappy network . Goes show you how low people will go to get people to view their crap.in thus case crappy late night talk slow of Coberts with Oprah crap network of her own.
There are many crappy shows on many different networks. However Oprah is and has always been a forerunner in the tv/film industry. I’m not sure if you understand that anyone with a business is going to do their due diligence to make it successful. Besides Oprah is RICH!!!!! So cheer up and don’t worry about that Billionaire
Well let’s say networks are like fastfood. Many types but people by because many are lazy to cook. Hence this network. Too many bad shows, with little to chose from.
I was wondering when people would start to turn on Oprah.
Don’t cancel this outstanding grassroots series.
Don’t cancel this outstanding grassroots series.
Queen Sugar and Greenleaf are WONDERFUL I love them!
Cant wait until Greenleaf airs again. More realistic tha Haves and Have Nots
I am shocked that Love Thy Neighbor and For Better Or Worse are still on. Whenever they have to use canned laughter in the background it speaks volumes. Neither are funny shows.
Normally on other networks they strive for better programming to get better ratings. But if Opra is happy with these sub standard ratings then I guess she really don’t care if her network does well as for me and my family will not be watching I just think it is a shame the people like me who pay for our cable package that in part are paying for this miss management of substandard programming I have tried to get it removed from my bill but they won’t. Being a network head has responsibility to provide a profitable viewing to the… Read more »
Networks rely on channels no one watches to be in the lineup for their revnue. This is why network execs lobby against a la carte; it would force poorly-performing channels like OWN to compete. It’s also why every major movie studio owns one or more TV channels. Disney owns all Disney Channels, ABC, the entire ESPN and Discovery franchises, for instance. Every movie studio has a net loss of money on their films, and to remain in production, rely on their TV networks, where revenue isn’t dependednt of viewership, to keep them open. They can’t afford for you to make… Read more »
I actually have so many channels included in my cable package. That’s means when I don’t want to watch what’s on one channel I just turn the channel. My subscription is with Spectrum. Do you need the number?
I really love the two Tyler Perry dramas and have avidly watched both from their first episodes. I wish they would put them out on DVD so I could binge watch the whole series from the beginning, and share them with my daughter who doesn’t get them in Canada.
You can get HAHN on DVD here havesandhavenotsdvds.blogspot.com
I am so tired of all the back to back Datelines…20/20…murder and violence continually…I want to scream…enough already
Tyler Perry is a very gifted young man.. The HAHN’s and If Loving You Is Wrong Is just a sample of his great creations..Plz don’t cancel either one…I’m 65 years old and I love both of them.. Mr Perry.. Plz disregard the mean spirited comments from others and keep moving towards your dream…
look for Queen sugar you would love it!
Work not worth even viewing terrible just terrible
I am not totally surprised about the ratings update on the OWN network because the top two are the best. It is hard for me to follow the other two shows on the list. Friday night programming is detrimental to many shows.
Never watch OWN… at all!
Rose … WHY ?
Then why even comment on this post SMH
