Broadcast and cable networks will sing the praises of Aretha Franklin this weekend with special programming honoring the "Queen of Soul," who passed away Thursday.

Tonight (Aug. 17), PBS will air a special, Aretha! Queen Of Soul, which will feature archival footage from Franklin's career, along with interviews that will highlight her legacy, according to network officials.

Saturday, OWN re-air Oprah Winfrey’s 1999 television interview with Franklin from The Oprah Winfrey Show, while TV One will run an encore of two Franklin specials, TV One on One: Aretha Franklin and Aretha: Frankly Speaking.

Digital multicast TV network getTV on Sunday will pay its respects to Franklin with a rarely seen December 1967 episode of The Kraft Music Hall music variety series, featuring Franklin performing two of the biggest hits of her career, Respect and Chain Of Fools.

BET’s BET Her network on Monday will air a morning marathon of the prolific artist’s many music videos. BET Networks president Scott Mills said in a statement that Franklin’s extraordinary talents laid the groundwork for so many of today’s artists. 

“Aretha Franklin was a musical phenomenon and an iconic figure in black culture,” Mills said. “We will remember and miss her dearly.”

Oprah Winfrey’s cable network now has a TV Everywhere app of its OWN.

OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network today launched its Watch OWN TV Everywhere streaming service, offering authenticated viewers access to the network’s live feed as well as much of its original programing on demand, said network officials.

The Watch OWN app will include full episodes of popular network shows including Winfrey’s series Super Soul Sunday, Tyler Perry-produced hit drama and comedy series including The Haves and the Have Nots and If Loving You is Wrong, and unscripted hits like Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s and new series For Peete’s Sake.

The app will also have classic episodes from The Oprah Winfrey Show, said the network.

Watch OWN is available through iOS from iTunes App Store and through Android from the Google play store, said network officials.

While it may seem that OWN is late to the apps game, network president Erik Logan told Multichannel News that the network wanted to be diligent and take its time before releasing its TV Everywhere service. He added the network also waited until it secured online rights deals for a number of its key shows before launching the service.

He added the timing of the launch also allows viewers to play with the app before the network’s June premiere of its new drama series Greenleaf, starring Winfrey herself.

“We didn’t want to go too soon to create a bad customer experience – we wanted to wait until we got to a good place which we feel we are,” Logan said. “We also wanted to take advantage of where we were with our shows, our programming grid and our content so viewers could watch all of OWN anywhere.”

Logan said the network doesn’t have any immediate plans to eventually launch an OTT service beyond the app. “We are big believers in driving value for our cable partners, so this is a real key element for us,” he said. “We’re going to take it one step at a time.”
