Oprah Winfrey struggling to run OWN network?

Oprah Winfrey says running a TV network is “10 times harder” than presenting her talk show.

The media mogul who quit The Oprah Winfrey Show after 25 years to launch her own network OWN admitted after a week in the job she is finding it difficult to adjust and often needs to stop to “catch a breath”.

“I will say this; it’s 10 times harder than doing my daily show. Doing that show felt like breathing everyday. Now I’m in so many meetings I sometimes have to step out and catch a breath,” Oprah wrote on Facebook.

However, Oprah is relishing the challenge and says she is not worried about the future of the channel.

“@Woodsy1069 asked me on Twitter yesterday if I was ‘frazzled’ by OWN’s performance thus far,” she said.

“Nope, not frazzled. And I have faith that if I do what I’m supposed to-allow it to serve my purpose, and you, the viewer it will succeed. But I see every challenge as an opportunity. So no shortage of opportunities here.

“Everyone in the cable business told me it would take 3 years. Some said 5. I’ve been here a week. Lorne Michaels, master creator/producer told me months ago, ‘It won’t start to come together until you’re there.’

“So I made myself CEO and now in the trenches with Erik and Sheri who’ve masterfully run Harpo, now also Presidents of OWN. We’re uniting and building our team.”
