Tyler Perry Keeping Oprah’s Network Alive? It’s no secret that Oprah’s OWN Network was struggling in the beginning. The viewership was down and they were having a hard time connecting with audiences. Mona Scott even gave her opinion some time ago on the “Ebro In The Morning” show. She stated she was unaware of the target audience for the OWN Network. Thanks to good friend Tyler Perry I think they have figured it out. OWN network currently has four of the “Why Did I Get Married ” Creator’s series;and has ordered 20+ Episodes of each. “Oprah Winfrey’s partnership with Tyler Perry has been a tremendous success, garnering millions of viewers for OWN and setting ratings records.” More info after the jump.

When one says multi-talented, Tyler Perry is surely one to come to mind. The funny man who plays ‘the grandmother of families’ Madea, is adding another show to the OWN network. The Haves and Have Nots, starring Tika Sumpter have bought major ratings to the network, so it looks like Oprah gave the go ahead for a new project. Tyler’s just the male version on O, right? Interesting, hit the jump for the details.
