NBC Universal agreed to buy Oxygen Media, the cable-television network co-founded by Oprah Winfrey, for $925 million to attract younger female viewers. The broadcaster, a unit of General Electric Co., will promote Oxygen on the Bravo channel, the “Today” show and the iVillage Web site it bought last year for $600 million. More than 40% of Oxygen’s viewers are women between 18 and 49, helping NBC target a demographic coveted by advertisers.
