CHICAGO (AP) - "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is coming to an end, at least in its current form.
Winfrey's production company says she'll announce the show's final date during a live broadcast today, which should be in 2011.
After 25 seasons, the show is seen by an estimated 42 million viewers in the U.S. and airs in 145 countries.
Winfrey's broadcasting career started in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md.. She relocated to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV's morning talk show "A.M. Chicago." That show was renamed "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 1985.
A year later, Winfrey established Harpo and her talk show went into syndication. In 1990, Winfrey opened Harpo Studios in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.
Winfrey is widely expected to start a new talk show on The Oprah Winfrey Network. The much-delayed joint venture with Discovery Communications is expected to debut in 2011. OWN is to replace the Discovery Health Channel and will debut in some 74 million homes
