Reigning TV Diva To Announce Next Move on Nov. 20 Broadcast
What a bombshell!!! The incomparable Oprah Winfrey will end her long-running talk show after her 25th season draws to a close in 2011.
Word is the billionaire talk-show host will reveal her plans on her eponymous program Friday.
ABC-owned WABC New York reported the news on its Web site on Thursday afternoon; Winfrey's Harpo Productions confirmed the report. The ABC owned stations have always served as the key station group for The Oprah Winfrey Show, which is distributed by CBS Television Distribution.
Winfrey, long a source of pride and inspiration for African Americans, is starting her own cable network called OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network in a joint venture with Discovery Communications. OWN will replace what is now Discovery Health Network on cable systems.
What remains unconfirmed is whether Winfrey will move her talk show to OWN, although that's what Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke reported earlier this month, reiterating comments that Discovery chief David Zaslav made one year earlier during a conference call.
