Well, apparently you can all go take a hike.

As most of you have probably heard, Oprah has struck a deal with Discovery to make Discovery Health Channel the Oprah Winfrey Network.

I'm a big fan of Discovery Health, and Oprah is one of my least favorite public figures, so you can just imagine I'm tickled to bits over this little bit of news.

I hate that a good network is going off the air so some egotistical blowhard can have a network named after her.

What does everyone else think about it?

I like Mystery Diagnosis, and sometimes, when in the right mood, Dr G., Medical Examiner.

Other than those shows and a couple others, Discovery Health had been on a downward spiral for a couple years now. I was expecting something like this to happen sooner or later; I'm fairly sure it's the least popular channel in the Discovery family (that or the Military Channel).

Oh great, and I finally broke down and bought a TV and got cable because I wanted to watch what everyone was talking about...wonder if it's too late to return the TV?

What rotten news! There's so much other crappy programming that I often turn to Discovery Health. I applaud Oprah for everything she's accomplished in her life, but I'm completely uninterested in watching an entire network devoted to her and her interests. I really wish this deal hadn't happened.

Regit, do you have a link about this? I have seen nor heard nothing about this except here.

I heard on the news that Oprah got a TV network, but I didnt know it was the Discovery Health channel.

Oh yeah, forgot the link, didn't I?

Just sucks that the Discovery Health Channel is dissolving.

It's more like the I. O.W.N. Y.O.U. network.

thanks regit. That really sucks. I liked some of the shows on Discovery health. I'm not a constant watcher, but I do watch it on at least once a week.
