Oprah Winfrey will end her syndicated talk show in September 2011, concluding a 25-year run, according to ABC News.

Winfrey is scheduled to make the announcement tomorrow on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," which is produced by her Harpo Productions and distributed by CBS Television Distribution.

It is anticipated that Winfrey will announce her future plans on that show as well.

CBS Television Distribution said in a statement, "We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors. 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."

  1. I was never a fan although I did watch occasionally if she had a celebrity on that I liked. 25 years is a long time! She sure did build quite an empire for herself in that time.
