OWN Network to Debut “Sag Harbor” in January Posted on 01 December 2014 On Saturday, January 3 at 10 p.m., Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network will debut “Sag Harbor,” a one-hour special that takes a look into different facets of Sag Harbor community through different homeowners, including restaurateur and lifestyle guru B. Smith. “Located in the heart of New York’s The Hamptons, this tight knit enclave was established as a refuge from racism in the early 20th century,” notes a press release issued by the network last week. “With the recent housing boom, this once all African-American neighborhood is now fighting to hold on to its identity. Real estate prices throughout the three bay front areas of Azurest, Ninevah and Sag Harbor Hills have recently skyrocketed. This seemingly positive economic reality is forcing the younger generations, now inheriting these cottages from their parents and grandparents, to face a vexing dilemma: To sell or not to sell?” “Sag Harbor” aims to profile the village as one at a crossroads, but also one that still values celebrating life, family and tradition. “Sag Harbor” was produced by Ish Entertainment with executive producers Michael Hirschorn, Wendy Roth, and Toby Oppenheimer with co-executive producer Troy Roberts.
