Oprah's certainly had the Midas Touch with many things she's associated with, including her magazine, her book club, and almost anything she plugs on her show. However, she's not invincible: remember the movie Beloved? Despite Oprah's best cross-platform efforts, the movie was a box office dud.
Will Oprah's network be a success? With cable ratings so low to begin with, the net doesn't have a high bar to reach. My prediction: the net has a couple of moderately successful shows, but takes a big hit in ratings once the Big O stops airing her flagship syndicated show.
