“The Rosie Show” Canceled By OWN : Rosie Respond, Oprah 5 Million for Odama



Oprah Winfrey‘s OWN Network decided to pull the plug and cancel Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show. WOW I didn’t think the show would go off the air so soon. Rosie’s first episode of “The Rosie Show” aired on OWN only 5 months ago Oct,2011. THEJASMINEBRAND reports initially the show got about 500,000 viewers. But about 2 months later, the executive producer had to be replaced and the location had to be downgraded to a smaller space, since the number of viewers slipped to a disappointing 190,000. Oprah issued a statement of release, saying,

“I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has been an incredible partner, working to deliver the best possible show every single day. As I have learned in the last 15 months, a new network launch is always a challenge and ratings grow over time as you continue to gather an audience. I’m grateful to Rosie and the dedicated Rosie Show team for giving it their all.”

Rosie put out a departure statement as well,

“I loved working with Oprah in the amazing city of Chicago. I was welcomed with open arms and will never forget the kindness of all I encountered. It was a great year for me — I wish the show was able to attract more viewers — but it did not. So I am headed back to my home in New York — with gratitude. On we go!”

Meanwhile, Rosie has been telling her fans not to be disappointed about the news, via twitter. Peep some of her replies to fans:

So, tomorrow, the talk show will tape its final episode, which will air on March 30th, at 7pm.

President Barack Obama, turning full attention to his re-election campaign, aimed to raise more than $5 million today with fundraisers in his adopted hometown of Chicago and then Atlanta, where Oprah Winfrey joined with other wealthy donors.

Obama arrived in Chicago as two of the Republicans who want to challenge him in November, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, also had Illinois campaign events before the state’s March 20 presidential primary.

Obama then went on to Atlanta, where his stops included dinner for about 40 people, including Winfrey, at the home of actor and film producer Tyler Perry. There, Obama said of his presidency: “This is not a three-year project. This is an eight-year project,” prompting applause.

    I don’t care for Oprah but I sometimes liked her show. She obviously has the astuteness to hire the right staff to put things together. So, I was interested in watching her new channel. But, I had no clue where it was or what the call letters were, I knew nothing about it.
    Maybe that’s the problem.
    Far too many people liked Rosie for her show to crash so soon.
    Somethings wrong somewhere. And I doubt it’s the channel. Someone missed doing something to promote it.
