  1. Very disappointed that the Nate Burkus show is not listed on channel 10-ABC Sacramento California Sept. 2012. Many viewers do not have income to watch the OWN network and will not get the TV listing to see the OWN network shows. Oprah and Harpo studios are once again leaving out the middle class and beyond with cable channels. Basic cable is all we should have to use even that is too much money to just watch a TV channel. Bye, Karen H

  2. Both shows are not to my liking.
