On Fridays show, the Queen of daytime television will announce that "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will end at the close of its 25th season, in September 2011. The influential syndicated talk show has made history, billions of dollars and huge ratings.
The talk show star used her fame and wealth for pet causes, founding a school in Africa, raising money to fight diseases and launching such spin-off stars such as Dr. Phil, decorator Nate Berkus and organizer Peter Walsh.
One media critic says a lot of people will be impacted by Oprah's departure.
Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md., before relocating 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.
