Oprah Winfrey to leave talk show (AP)
The Oprah Winfrey show will end on Sept. 9, 2011. It’s true; the Queen of daytime talk shows is stepping down after 25 year on the air.
Since the show reaches close to 7 million homes in the US, it’s an understatement to say that Winfrey will be missed.
Oprah, 55, is not ending her show so she can sleep in every day, instead she will continue to work in television.
Winfrey’s production company Harpo, in partnership with Discovery Communications, is preparing to launch a cable network. It will be called OWN, which will stand for Oprah Winfrey Network.
Last January, Harpo and Discovery announced that OWN will replace take the place of Discovery Health on cable. While they did not mention what Winfrey’s on-air role will be, their joint statement at the time did give some insight:
In addition to providing her talent, and personal commitment, Winfrey will have full editorial control over the joint venture and will be responsible for OWN's programming, branding and creative vision.”
It is assumed that Winfrey will continue too hosts her Oprah & Friends program on XM Satellite and appears monthly on the cover of her magazine, O.
