Hi jurgy,

Please let me know if this answers your question:

"Laybourne says the name Oxygen came to her in a dream. She woke up
thinking that, as consumers and creative people, women were being
shouted at. They needed a breath of fresh air. Today, Beece talks of
"oxygenating" the network's programming. To oxygenate something, she
explains, is to make it "bold, a little bit risque, with moments of
funniness." To that end, Oxygen is plowing tens of millions into saucy
new original programming in 2004."
