ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- The Discovery Channel is reaping major benefits from U.S. TV star Oprah Winfrey's decision to focus on a new cable channel, experts said.
Douglas Gomery, a media economist at the University of Maryland, College Park, said expectations regarding the cable channel and Maryland-based Discovery Communications increased after Winfrey confirmed she would end "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2011, The Baltimore Sun said Sunday.
