Oprah Winfrey will end her show after its 25th season wraps in 2011, according to publicists for her production company, Harpo.
This confirmation comes after speculation that Winfrey could be moving the popular syndicated talk show, which currently films in Chicago, to her new cable network, OWN, which is based in Los Angeles.
Sources tell msnbc.com that Winfrey will host a new daily talk show on OWN, and will also host specials for the network.
In a letter dated Thursday, Harpo president Tim Bennett wrote "Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the 'Oprah' show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.”
According to an employee, Winfrey told her staff about the plans during a meeting Thursday morning.
Winfrey also reportedly said that severance packages will be given to all employees with three or more years of experience if they aren't placed elsewhere in positions within Harpo.
Winfrey is expected to discuss the ending of her show in more detail during tomorrow’s show, which will be taped in Chicago.
Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md., before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV's morning talk show "A.M. Chicago."
That show was renamed "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 1985.
A year later, Winfrey established Harpo and her talk show went into syndication. In 1990, Winfrey opened Harpo Studios in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.Oprah Winfrey will end her show after its 25th season wraps in 2011, according to... more
