OWN's Official Logo
Canada, are you ready for Oprah all day, every day? It has just been announced that Oprah Winfrey's much-talked about Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) will be launching in Canada via Corus Entertainment on March 1, 2011. Its U.S. launch will be taking place two months prior on New Year's Day.

OWN which targets Women aged 25 to 54, will be replacing existing channel VIVA as it caters to a similar demographic. To prepare Canadians for its launch, Corus' W Network and VIVA will be airing blocks of programming from OWN throughout January and February.

The many exciting programs to come include a reality show from Shania Twain, plus Talk Shows from Gayle King, Sarah Ferguson, Rosie O'Donnell and Lisa Ling. Above this, Julia Roberts will star in a Documentary called Extraordinary Moms, which also will be airing on the network!

  2. My guess is if you already have the channel "VIVA" in your package it won't be extra since this channel is replacing VIVA.

    You should check with your cable provider to see what the plans are close to the channel's launch.
