Logan’s oversight of OWN this past year garnered record ratings for the network, resulting in the most-watched and highest-rated year in network history. Successes in 2016 include the launches of new original drama series “Greenleaf” and “Queen Sugar,” new additions to the network’s development slate, along with expansion in the digital space and the launch of OWN’s first ever mobile game, “Bold Moves.” Unscripted series will continue to be substantial contributors to OWN’s schedule, as Logan and the network’s development team continue to seek out and feature those personalities and subjects that both appeal to as well as broaden OWN’s core audience. New series in 2017 include docuseries “The Book of John,” featuring the life of John Gray, associate pastor at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, TX.
