BIG NEWS today on Oprah!  Oprah Winfrey is set to announce today on her Friday “Live” show that SHE QUITS!  Or at-least The Oprah Winfrey Show. 

Winfrey, 55, and who’s net worth is said to be 2.7 billion, yes, BILLION, says the last show will air in 2011. 

The show that started out as a local Chicago morning program has grown into a international program, reaching over 145 countries worldwide and watched by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the U.S. alone.

The Oprah Winfrey Show, which has slipped 7 percent from a year ago, was the launching pad for “Harpo Productions Inc.”     People have not speculated the reason for the 7 percent slip in ratings, however, many “Non Obama Supporters”,  publicly announced they would stop watching the favored talk-show after she announced her support of the now President of The United States. 

Well, her rating might be down but don’t count her out, just yet!

Oprah is expected to start ANOTHER talk-show on, get this, “OWN“,  which stands for “The Oprah Winfrey Network“.  OWN is a joint venture with Discovery Communications Inc. and is expected to debut in 2011.  Coincidence?  I think not!   OWN is expected to replace the Discovery Health Channel. 

CBS, who is trying their best to be Politically Correct, you know is squirming but says “We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success.  We look forward to working with her for the next several years, and hopefully afterwards as well.”
