Is Oprah Quitting?
November 8th, 2008
After 24 years of hosting and executive producing the Oprah Winfrey show, its rumored that the diva of all talk show hosts may be leaving to work full-time with OWN (The Oprah Winfrey Network), which is a partnership between Harpo and Discovery Communications in Silver Spring, Md. “We’re talking now about what the presence will be and what kind of programming she would be involved in directly. But this is her chapter 2, and building the OWN brand online and on-air is… a core mission for her,” said Discovery CEO David Zaslav on a conference call. Although, he said Winfrey plans to leave in 2011 when her syndication contract ends with CBS and ABC, Harpo spokesperson Lisa Halliday is calling Zaslav’s comments “premature.” “She has not made a final decision as to whether she will continue her show in syndication. CBS Television Distribution also released a statement yesterday, saying it “would certainly welcome and hope that ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ would continue in syndication beyond [2011], but that is a decision only Ms. Winfrey will be making.”

Oh sheesh stop exaggerating…Its not quitting!
its called retiring…
I don’t think that she is going anywhere! Maybe she’s going to retire or something like that. Hey, it wont matter to me because I keep missing all the episodes. But I mean she’s still going to be doing something productive!
Do your thing you have all you need you won’t have to want for nothing for the rest of your life. Do your thing what makes you happy!
OPRAH I HOPE YOU DO WHT IS BEST FOR YOU WORK HARD FOR SO LONG I THINK YOU DESERVE TO WHT EVER YOU WANT TO YOU THE MONEY AND THE POWER THE SMARTS WHAT ESLE CAN YOU ASK FOR BUT WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM YOU IS TO GET MARRIED AND LIVE HAPPLIY EVER AFTER I THINK YOU WANT THT TO BUT DONT LET IT STEDMAN HE IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT TO MUCH LOVE………………………………
Oprah is Rich it really doesnt matter what she does!!!
Let’s celebrate President-Elect Obama’s victory. We are still debating Mr. Obama’s ethnicity. You know the one drop rule usually applies in America. Quite frankly, all African-Americans & other ethnicities are of mixed blood! While I appreciate reading peoples’ responses to questions, it would be Most Appreciated if you learned how to spell, use punctuation and capitalization! Operah? Her name’s Oprah!!
O WELL i’m not the biggest oprah fan , but i wish her the best BUT SHE DID DO GOOD FOR PEOLPE ALL OVER
OPRAH is one of the Frankli African-Americans I know beside my mother. So what she put her backing behind a man she truely belive in,
Fox NEW S sure showed who they wanted to win. On FOX & FRIENDS in the morning made that sure all of AMERICA that watches the show new that they was for Old Tired McCain Which needs is a ROCKING CHAIR 2 win but the world had better and greater plans. PALIN went to seven different colleges to obtain a degree. She married a made w/no skills on NOTHING, but making babies and anybody can do that. American we all did the right thing a voted for a very smart man. It may take a while for him to fix so many problems that BUSH created 4 us, but I believe and many do that he will do the right thing. And for Michele the FIRST LADY to be u go girl. I know u ghot what it takes. May GOD BLESS U, MICHELE AND THE GIRLS through these TROUBLE TIMES. I u notice the child w/dowms sydrom and her oldest daughter than all of a sudden went from boy friend to finance, i beleive in my heart that that 17yr old of hersis the mother of that baby w/down sydrom.
I personally know the woman. What is infront and behind her. She is tried. You understand !!! T-R-I-E-D It’s a rigid lifestyle that many of us would have given up long ago. I admire and respect the longhaul of it all. But girlfriend on my 25th, “It’s been real.” C ya.
Besides mama ask about you all the time.
Love for everyone,
Peace

Todd, well said. Oprah Winfrey is a living legend.First black female african american Billionaire. The Angel network ,Harpo studio,The O magazine, O at home magazine,Oprah Winfrey Network. her radio show and sooooo many other pots her hands are in. Im sure that her show takes up alot of her time and there is most likely somethingelse stirring in the Winfrey kitchen, this isn’t goodbye this is a celebration! A black Woman which has shot to billionaire status has been on the same show(her show) for 25-27 years that is no small accomplishment. I am probably the Biggest Oprah Winfrey fan in the World and will surely miss her, but i have understood and have known for soetmes now that Opah is a GOD SENT and she still has work to do. Supporting Obama in spite of the fact that more than half of her viewers are white women is to be revered. kudos to you Lady O, I love you and have always loved you and will always love , may God continue to bless you and use you. YOU GO GIRL,YOU ARE TRULY A LIVING HERO!
Oprah deserves everything she gets. She has worked so hard, never allowing anything to get in her way. She is an open and honest woman who stands up for what she believes in and that is something to be respected for. I know she will succeed at whatever she chooses to do. This forum is supposed to be about what we think of her continuing with new ventures not about how blacks have been wronged. If you truly look into American history the blacks were not the only people who were treated poorly, almost every culture that makes up our American stew has been put down and degraded, yes some may have been paid but it was such a pitiful sum of money that many families still died off trying to achieve what they thought would be a new life. It is great for us all to embrace our cultures and remember our ancestors but don’t just believe that whites all inherited the opportunity, wealth and privilege. Many whites still have to overcome many obstacles to obtain these things. I, being a white woman with exceptional grades, could not get grants for college because I was considered standard, even though my family was extremely poor. I was raised by my grandparents after my mother died, but even that didn’t count toward anything because they felt my good grades showed I had overcome that adversity. Now I have paid off all my loans after 10 years. Anyone who works hard and doesn’t give up will succeed. There is proof of that in our President-elect Obama. He has worked hard his whole life and the majority of Americans believe he WILL make our country greater.
you people r a tri i have enjoyed laughung at ur comments at work. all of you r idiots period.
shut up david cause u r doin nothin but makin lives more dificult and if oprah wants 2 stay she has the right 2 stay it is her option.
we really luv ur show and wouldnt want u to quit,cos ur show change many peoples lives.
Regardless of what Ms. Winfrey decides to do, she has the ability to inspire many and did just taht transcending race and other barriers that we allow to separate us. My most heartfelt congratulations to you Ms. Winfrey and “May God Bless You and Keep You…May HIs Grace Shine Down Around About You and Grant You True Peace…
From one who was not such a great fan of your show but admired your displayed good character.
OPRAH LIKE OBAMA IS NOT ONLY UNTOUCHABLE BUT UNREACHABLE.
