Everybody loves Oprah Winfrey, right? In the past few decades, Oprah has risen to fame and has managed to build past her well-known show - a network in its own right. If you want to watch OWN without cable, that can be easily arranged via the over-the-top (OTT) platforms that offer it.

OWN, or the Oprah Winfrey Network, has been around since 2011, reaching some 80 million households. The channel broadcasts show like Dr. Phil, Rachel Ray, or The Nate Berkus Show.

So, if you want to watch OWN wherever you may go, you should know it's available on three live tv streaming services.
