    Discovery Communications (DISCA +0.5%) gets a bump out of Oprah's exclusive interview with former Tour de France champ Lance Armstrong. According to data, the OWN network - a joint venture between DISCA and Harpo Inc. - had viewership of 4.3M for her soul-bearing chat with the fallen sports icon, her highest-rated weekday telecast ever on the network. Although the numbers are encouraging, its hardly a personal best for Oprah. Some of her interviews on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” scored upward of 10M viewers, and Michael Jackson himself garnered over 62M.
