CASE STUDY:
The last episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show aired on Wednesday, May 25, 2011. The price for a 30-second commercial spot on the finale was million, the rate usually charged for a prime-time spot. The Oprah Winfrey Show has been a top-rated program for 25 years, a record unmatched in TV history.
With over 30,000 guests and a million studio audience members, Oprah and her show have garnered 48 Emmys, among other awards and accolades. According to Forbes, her personal net worth is roughly $2.7 billion.
Of all the TV celebrities we know, Oprah had the largest audience of trusted followers who listened and believed so strongly in everything she said. The question for many researches was: why? Adam Hanft, CEO of marketing firm Hanft projects responded this way, "Oprah's got a magical combination of extraordinary personal charisma, a tele presence, a back story that's full of high drama and suffering and triumph, and an ability to open herself up or appear to be very much willing to expose that. And the empathetic bond that's been created as a result is appealing and enduring." Oprah's charisma is seen in the way she has influenced so many people and opinions. It seems everything she touched or mentioned became a house-hold name. her endorsements made the fortunes of housewives, authors, singers or even presidential candidates. She built schools and rescued abused children. As one writer puts it, Oprah could move from high literature to lowly undergarments in a heartbeat.
Oprah, who is now 57, will take a more active role in her business empire, which includes her fledgling cable network, OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), her popular magazine, and her satellite show Oprah Friends on XM Satellite Radio. OWN is a 50-50 venture between Ms. Winfrey and Discovery Communications.
Oprah's legacy has established her as one of the most important figures in popular culture. Through her television, publishing, and film endeavors, Oprah will continue to entertain, enlighten, and empower millions of viewers around the world. She closed her last episode with these words: "I won't say goodbye. I'll just say, 'until we meet again'. To God be the glory".
Why was Oprah (and possibly still is) such a popular and admired figure on TV?
07
What is the locus of Oprah's Charisma?
07
OR
Q.5
What effects has Oprah's Charisma had on her followers?
07
