Oprah Winfrey says her powerhouse daytime
television show will end its run in 2011 after 25 seasons on the
air.
Winfrey said Friday that her decision to end “The Oprah Winfrey
Show” came “after much prayer and careful thought.“
Winfrey held back tears as she talked to the studio audience.
She thanked viewers who invited her into their living rooms over
the years.
The 55-year-old Winfrey says that when the show started in 1986,
she was nervous.
She says she never could have imagined the “yellow brick road
of blessings” that led her to this moment.
