Paula Deen Has Her Own Network Now

Paula Deen and her investors must think she still has a huge following and will make them all rich. Backed by a $100M investment, Paula Deen launches her own online cooking network tomorrow. If you love Paula and want to watch her you will have to pay about $10 a month for the privilege. That seems really steep considering how much Netflix and Amazon charge for their programming is actually a little less. Paula recently bought all the episodes of every Food Network show she ever filmed so is starting with those 440 episodes and is also going to have a live cooking show in front of an audience. With so many cooking shows available for free on cable or online, I just don't see how there are going to be that many people willing to fork over that kind of money just to watch re-runs of her old cooking shows and to see her cook new dishes. I also don't know if people have forgiven her yet to the point where they want to give her their money. It is one thing to watch her show, but another to give her money.
