Oprah Winfrey launched her network, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), a joint venture between Discovery Communications and Harpo. Oprah is from a town in Mississippi and grown up without a television. "I thought about standing on that red dirt road ... watching TV from a Sears and Roebuck store, asking my grandmother if I could get a television, and she said 'No, that's the devil's work'," Oprah recalls.
