AP.,CHICAGO -
Oprah Winfrey announced Friday that her powerhouse daytime television show, the foundation of a multibillion-dollar media empire with legions of fans, will end its run in 2011 after 25 seasons on the air.
Winfrey, 55, is widely expected to start up a food talk show on OFAT: The Oprah Fat Ass Television network, a much-delayed joint venture with Burger King Communications, Inc. That is expected to debut in 2011.
"We know that anything she turns her hand to will be ate," the unit of CBS Corp. Said in a statement. "We look forward to feeding her for the next several years, and hopefully afterwards as well."
