Craving OWN? How to Stream Oprah Winfrey Network on Hulu (Because Cable Cutting is Basically a Sport Now)
Let's face it, folks, cable bills are the ultimate party crashers. You're just settling in for a night of your favorite OWN drama, ready to be uplifted by Iyanla or schooled by Tyler Perry, when BAM! Reality hits you harder than Tiffany Haddish's stand-up routine. But fear not, cord-cutters and cable-weary warriors, because there's a way to watch OWN without forking over enough cash to buy your own vineyard (à la "The Kings of Napa"). Enter Hulu, the streaming service that's basically become our living room entertainment buffet.
But First, a Disclaimer (Because Adulting)
Now, before we dive headfirst into the world of OWN on Hulu, there's a little housekeeping. You'll need a Hulu subscription, obviously. But hey, that gets you access to a ton of other awesome shows and movies, so it's basically like having an all-you-can-watch pass to entertainment heaven.
Pro Tip: If you're new to Hulu, they often have sweet free trial deals. Just be sure to set a reminder in your phone (because, let's be honest, who remembers those things?) to cancel before the trial ends, unless you want to be surprised by a credit card charge (which, truely, is the opposite of Oprah's spirit of giving).
Alright, Alright, Alright, Let's Get Streamin'!
Here's the good news: OWN is available on Hulu Live TV. That means you can watch OWN live, just like you would with regular cable (but without the cable guy judging your questionable daytime TV habits). You'll get access to all your favorite OWN shows as they air, from the latest relationship drama on "Love & Marriage: Huntsville" to the inspiring wisdom bombs dropped by Dr. Phil (because, yes, he's also on OWN).
But wait, there's more! Hulu also has a library of OWN on-demand content. This means you can binge past seasons of your favorite shows, catch up on episodes you missed, or discover hidden gems you never knew existed. It's like having your own personal OWN box set, except way less dusty and way more eco-friendly.
So, How Do I Find OWN on Hulu?
Here's the easiest way:
- Open your Hulu app and fire up that search bar.
- Type in "OWN" (because, really, how much simpler can it get?).
- BAM! There you have it, a glorious list of OWN content at your fingertips.
Now, settle in, grab your popcorn (or your kale chips, if you're feeling fancy), and get ready to be entertained, empowered, and maybe even shed a tear or two (because OWN knows how to tug at our heartstrings).
Happy Streaming!
