The Oprah Effect
The CBS Morning News did something that they have never done….
They beat both Good Morning America and The Today Show in the ratings on Monday.
It was clearly another example of the power of Oprah Winfrey.
CBS This Morning focused on Winfrey’s interview with Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and her husband, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex that aired on Sunday night.
Winfrey stopped by the morning show to show some clips that did not air on her Sunday night special and that, and that alone, put CBS on top of the ratings.
CBS posted clips of Oprah on CBS this morning to YouTube and the video has already pulled over 3 million views. CBS normally averages about 2 thousand views on videos posted to YouTube.
It shows that when it comes to media, Oprah is still clearly the Queen.
