Executives at Warner Brothers believe that Ellen DeGeneres is the heir apparent to Oprah Winfrey in daytime TV. In a recent research report, the findings revealed that The Ellen DeGeneres Show was, for the first time, on par with The Oprah Winfrey Show in viewers' minds. Implementing the findings, Warner Brothers announced that NBC's 10 owned-and-operated stations would keep broadcasting DeGeneres's show through 2014. The written report revealed that DeGeneres's hour long show is upbeat and inspirational-traits that appeal to daytime's female audience; she is seen as relaxed and relatable; and she is more likable than Winfrey, according to the Q Scores Company. Even though the DeGeneres show lags behind the Winfrey show in the treasured Nielsen ratings, on emotional issues DeGeneres was in a virtual tie with Winfrey.
