FILE - In this April 14, 2011 publicity image originally released by OWN, TV personality and media mogul Oprah Winfrey presents at the OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network portion of the Discovery Communications Upfront at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. Winfrey says creating her new cable network is turning out to be the climb of her life. "I'm climbing Kilimanjaro," she told advertisers Thursday at a presentation for OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. She quickly explained that, for her, Kilimanjaro is the offices of OWN. The network, which launched in January 2011, has struggled to find an audience. It has recently suffered staff layoffs and a management upheaval. (AP Photo/OWN, George Burns) MANDATORY CREDIT: GEORGE BURNS/OWN

In this photo taken July 2, 2010 and provided by the Discovery Communications, Sarah Palin waits by her husband Todd's boat before heading up river to see fish being counted in Dillingham, Alaska as part of a documentary for the TLC channel. "Sarah Palin's Alaska" is fairly accurate with the facts about her home state. But more spot on is the title of the upcoming TLC documentary series. It's definitely Palin's Alaska, if not anyone else's. The first episode, airing Sunday, portrays the state with a sweeping grandeur not so readibly accessible for Alaskans with less time and money than the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.
