An article in The Christian Science Monitor about the uproar over the announcement by Oprah Winfrey that she will end her daytime talk show on broadcast television and move over to her own cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) quotes Elayne Rapping, professor of American studies, who calls the decision to move from broadcast to cable strictly a business move. She also is quoted in a French-language news site, Cyberpresse in Montreal, and in the Times of London.
