Winfrey to announce show will end in 2011
CHICAGO (AP) – Oprah Winfrey’s production company says Winfrey will announce today that her talk show will end in 2011 after its 25th season on the air.
Chicago-based Harpo Productions Inc said Thursday night that the talk show host will give more details live on the The Oprah Winfrey Show broadcast today.
Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tennessee, and Baltimore, Maryland, before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV’s morning talk show AM 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 neighbourhood.
