According to Broadway World, the Oprah Winfrey Network will air the final episodes of Our America with Lisa Ling beginning with its season premier beginning May 29 at 10 pm ET/PT.

However, Ling tweeted to AsAmNews that it would be incorrect to characterize this as being cancelled.

The show which features documentaries on a wide variety of topics has been part of the network since it launched in 2011.

Deadline reported that Ling’s Our America was the only show on OWN in its first year not hosted by Winfrey to have a sizable audience.

Prior to that, Ling worked as a field correspondent for Oprah in her long running day time talk show.

“It has been an honor to be part of the launch and success of OWN and I am exceptionally grateful to the network and to Oprah for allowing me to produce the show of my dreams,” said host Lisa Ling. “I have never been more proud of anything I’ve ever done in my career and hope that our shows have enriched people and provoked them to think differently and with compassion about those who inhabit OUR AMERICA.”

So what’s next for Lisa? As she said, we’ll have to #StayTuned.

  1. Re: Lisa Ling cancelled by Oprah, or was she? : Maybe it might be worthwhile for Lisa to cover the 145th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad in Golden Spike National Park in Utah on 5/10/14. There is a growing tide of support to have groups come around the US on 5/10/14. There is even a planned Buddhist ceremony at the “Chinese Arch” about 4.5 miles from the location of the 2 locomotives. Game plan is to get 145 APA’s to stand in front of the locomotives at 10 AM for a group photo of APA’s in an attempt to reclaim our history, then head to the “Chinese Arch”, the last known Chinese labor camp. Any one planning on coming should be aware that the historic site is 80 plus miles northwest of Salt Lake City.
