CHICAGO (AP) - Oprah Winfrey's production company says she'll
end her daytime talk show in 2011, after 25 seasons on the air.
Harpo Productions says she'll announce the final date for the
popular show during a live broadcast tomorrow.
Winfrey's show grew from a local Chicago broadcast into the
foundation of a multibillion-dollar media empire. It has been
television's top-rated talk show for more than two decades, airing
in 145 countries worldwide.
There's talk that Winfrey may start a new show on OWN: The Oprah
Winfrey Network. The joint venture with Discovery Communications is
expected to debut in 2011.
A Harpo spokeswoman isn't commenting on Winfrey's plans, except
to say that "The Oprah Winfrey Show" won't be moving to cable
television.
Meanwhile, CBS Television Distribution is holding out hope that
it can continue doing business with Winfrey. The loss of her show
would be a blow to CBS, which earns a percentage of hefty licensing
fees from TV stations that use it.
