After just five months Oprah Winfrey’s network, OWN, has canceled Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show, the New York Times reported.
The show is taping its final episode March 20, and will air March 30.
When OWN acquired The Rosie Show last year, it was produced inside Winfrey’s Harpo Studios in Chicago, with Winfrey and O’Donnell present for the unveiling.
However, ratings steadily declined after the show’s October 2011 premiere drew fewer than 500,000 viewers—dropping to about 200,000. The show was changed constantly, including a staff reduction, the removal of a space for the studio audience and implementing more one-on-one interviews.
O’Donnell had recently put her 6,000-square-foot Lakeview house on the market for $2.5 million. It was reportedly bought a day later.
In a statement, Winfrey thanked O’Donnell for “working to deliver the best possible show every single day.”
