Oprah Ending Her Talk Show

Oprah Winfrey will end her talk show on September 9, 2011 and focus on her new cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network, or OWN.

OWN will have its premiere on cable in January 2011, according to a person with knowledge of Ms. Winfrey’s decision who insisted on anonymity. That timeline will theoretically give Ms. Winfrey about nine months to promote her cable channel on her existing show.

The show began syndication in 1986 and is regarded as the most successful show in syndication, with an audience of 7 million viewers a day.
