 Time for some historic T.V. news - Oprah Winfrey has officially announced that she will be ending her talk show next September, after 25 years as the reigning queen of media. That’s right… The Oprah Winfrey show is going off the air on September 9, 2010 - less than a year from now. Oprah made the announcement on the Friday broadcast of her hit show. She fought back tears as she explained her decision to the audience. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she confessed. The Oprah Winfrey Show first aired on September 8, 1986. In the beginning she primarily discussed relationships and typical talk show fodder. During the late 90s, her show changed focus and began incorporating spirituality and human interest stories. In 1993, Michael Jackson gave his first television in more than a decade. He invited Oprah to his home at Neverland for the 90-minute interview that was seen by more than 100 million people around the world. In 2004, for her 19th season premiere, Oprah gave each member in her audience the keys to a brand new Pontiac G6. In 2005, Tom Cruise embarrassed himself on Oprah’s couch. After bringing up Katie Holmes, the actor quickly became animated, until he finally started jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch. In 2006, Oprah had on Blood Diamond Director Ed Zwick and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou to have a discussion about conflict diamonds. Winfrey has had a profound effect on the city of Chicago, Illinois. The neighborhood surrounding Harpo Productions was rundown prior to the company’s success. Many Chicago residents have expressed concern over what would happen if Winfrey were to leave. New sources are speculating that Oprah will air a new show on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2010.
