Say it ain’t so. The days of the Oprah as the tv talk show queen are ov-ah! She is moving on to bigger and better things..like owning her own cable channel. The O will make the big official announcement on Friday November 20th.

According to the report, Oprah will be focusing all of her energy on a cable channel of her own, which ironically will be named “OWN.”  A spokeswoman for Harpo confirmed Thursday evening that she will make the statement on Friday. The plans were first reported by WABC, the ABC station in New York City. The statement reads: “The sun will set on the Oprah show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.”

CBS Television Distribution said, “We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors. We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success. We look forward to working with her for the next several years, and hopefully afterwards as well.”
