Does the fact that Mary Wilson's camp chose The Phil Donahue Show mean that she is not permitted, allowed or whatever, to go on the Oprah show? And presumably the reverse is also the case...or is it?

Is this about a rivalry between TV stations, the personalities or just these two TV programmes.

Back then every TV program wanted to be first - the same follows now - However - Oprah is very very pro Diana Ross - and is not interested as much in Mary Wilson. It is highly likely that Oprah who is now a personal friend of her childhood idol Ross - will NEVER interview Mary Wilson - for fear of losing Diana's friendship.

Yes my friends - it is still that petty.
