OWN: Oprah Winfrey Networks says “I Do” to a new eight-episode wedding series, Don’t Tell the Bride that is based on a successful UK show sporting the same name. The series follows eight cash-poor couples and helps them create a wedding of their dreams. The twist is the bride and groom can’t see each other during the month leading up to their wedding day and the groom plans the entire event in secret with help from his best man. The bride ends up being kept in the dark about all the details until right before the wedding. Shed Media US is producing the
series, based on a format from Renegade Pictures and Digital Rights Group.

On Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey ended her 25-year run of her syndicated The Oprah Winfrey Show on a high mark by posting a 13.3 HH rating in the overnight  metered markets, based on Nielsen’s data.  This is a preliminary number and does  not include the St. Louis market which had to preempt the show for storm news  coverage.  Wednesday’s finale episode became the highest rated for The Oprah  Winfrey Show in more than 17 years since February 21, 1994.  Earlier this week, Monday’s “Surprise Farewell, Part 1” delivered a 10.2 HH rating and Tuesday’s “Surprise Farewell, Part 2” ticked up to a 10.7 HH rating, both based on overnight metered market ratings.
