Oprah to end her show in 2011

Oprah Winfrey is expected to announce on her show on Friday that she will be ending her syndicated talk show in 2011.

Although Oprah has been quiet about what her plans are, insiders say that Winfrey, 55, will finally start the long rumored OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). The network is expected to begin in 2011 to 75 million homes, and Oprah will most likely have a new show on the channel.

Although Winfrey could not be reached for comment, Tim Bennett, the president of Winfrey's Chicago-based production company, Harpo Inc., confirmed in an e-mail Thursday to station partners that she would end the existing program Sept. 9, 2011.

"Oprah's personal comments about this on tomorrow's live show will mark an historic television moment that we will all be talking about for years to come," Bennett wrote.
