Remember the reports from last year which indicated that The Hub's prime-time lineup was beating OWN 3-1 in the ratings despite being 80% re-runs?

In the latest saga of OWN's continuing failure, Oprah fired off at least two tweets during the Grammys encouraging fans - including those with Neilsen boxes - to change the channel to her network.

Given that she specifically asked Neilson box fans to change the channel, the Neilsen folks aren't all that happy; Oprah's been forced to remove the tweets.

Anyone want to lay odds on how much longer before Oprah's fame and cash just aren't enough to keep the channel going?

"At my last intern briefing, Craig was clearly tired. His message had changed to, "Stay out of trouble, period." It seemed that, as director of security, Livingstone was growing old fast. If he didn't watch out, he'd become one of us - a 'Mormon' or a 'straight,' which is what Clinton staffers called FBI agents, the Secret Service, and former Bush employees."

Now, I'm not saying all this was caused by muffins.

But, yes. Time-traveling alien muffins.
