Oprah’s daytime TV show to end in 2011 after 25 years

OPRAH WINFREY yesterday announced that her daytime television show will end its run in 2011after 25 seasons on the air.

Holding back tears, Winfrey told her studio audience yesterday she would end her show in 2011, saying “prayer and careful thought” led her to her decision. The powerhouse show became the foundation for her multi-billion-dollar media empire, but in the last year, has seen its ratings slip 7%.

“Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she said.
