“I had a blast doing this show with Telepictures,” Frankel said in a statement. “My entire staff worked so hard and made every day so much fun. I am thankful for the experience and for all my fans who tuned in every day.”

A major donor to Obama and DP causes, her show did not reach across the key demographic that a show like her needed. Her demographic was needlepoint sharp and that NEVER gets the necessary viewers to keep you on air. It didn’t help that she’s a skeleton and a horrible role model for any female category. Basically it was a case of her being a bagillionaire and she bought herself the time on tv and then wasted the sponsors money in the process. To be fair, affiliates also hated Oprah because no matter what they put on behind her show, it fell into the canyon. They started asking her to retire in order to save their afternoon.
