Oprah to end talk show in 2011

Saw it first on my twitter timeline. Many were sad, and shocked, on the news that Oprah will end soon.
Yes, the popular talk show Oprah will end in 2011, according to the report in the CNN website.
The report further said the Oprah Winfrey will formally announce this on the Friday’s edition of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
“Oprah will be ending her talk show,” said Don Halcombe, spokesman of Winfrey’s Harpo Productions. “She will be speaking about in on tomorrow’s live show.”
The show was said to end on September 9, 2011, as its 25th season draws to a close, according to a letter from Harpo Inc.
Many were surprised and saddened by this news because Oprah has a lot of televiewers all over the world, this author included. It has been a consistent top-rating talk show for 23 consecutive seasons.
According to the Oprah.com site, it is seen by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the United States and is broadcast to 145 countries.
I am guessing, that perhaps this could be just temporary (I hope), and that a new show (perhaps with a similar format) will air soon… of course, I could be wrong.

Can’t believe that Oprah talk show will end.
