Oprah Winfrey announced she will end her long-time TV show in 2011, after 25 years of broadcast.
Winfrey told the audience that she loved “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” that it had been her life and that she knew when it was time to say goodbye. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she said.
Not said by Ms. Winfrey, estimated to have a net worth of some $2.7 Billion, is that her audience ratings began to plummet when she came out for the first time and vocally supported a political candidate for the presidency.
Much like Barack Obama, that candidate, her ratings have been steadily dropping as the public begins looking at just what they bought into, both the in candidate and the TV host.
Obama’s ratings continue to fall, in the double digit range, while Oprah’s ratings are said to have slipped some 7% in the last year.
