The launch weekend will feature sneak peeks and series premieres of many of the network’s new shows. One reality-based show will include Breaking Down the Bars, a docu-reality series that will follow the transformation of female prisoners working toward rehabilitation with a therapist. Winfrey says she takes responsibility for the new network seriously. “I feel responsible for the energy that I bring into the rooms of every single person who turns on this channel,” she says. OWN will replace the Discovery Health Channel on cable and satellite. In Canada, the Viva channel will be rebranded as OWN on March 1. More: Oprah Interview Oprah.com (OWN TV) The Independent
