Reports are circulating that Oprah Winfrey will announce on Friday that she will be ending her show in 2011.  This is surprising to me, because at this point in her career she basically just has to show up, give away free shit at christmas and talk to someone coming out of rehab, and repeat.

It will be interesting to see if this leads to Oprah going to her own channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) which is a new cable channel in partnership with Discovery Networks that plans to launch next year.

Also, Winfrey has made this statement twice in the past only to later resign her distribution deal with CBS.
