Oprah's departure presents problem for TV stations
Saturday, 21 November 2009 05:01 Published in Entertainment Archive CHICAGO (AP) -- For more than two decades, Oprah Winfrey has been the inspirational, change-your-life champion who reigned over daytime television much like Johnny Carson once ruled late night. Now she's ready to say goodbye, leaving a huge void for broadcast TV even as she raises the possibility of more Oprah than ever when she starts her own cable network.
Winfrey told viewers Friday that she will dim the lights on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" at the close of its 25th season in late 2011.
"I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye," she said, holding back tears. "Twenty-five years feels right in my bones, and it feels right in my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time."

Like many Washingtonians, I avoid crowded malls during the holiday season and opt for quaint venues around town to do my Christmas shopping. That’s why I thoroughly enjoyed the story published in The Washington Informer, “A Unique Experience for Holiday Shoppers” on Dec. 2.
The BZB Holiday Gift and Art Show at the Shiloh Baptist Church Family Life Center in Northwest definitely provides shoppers with a unique experience – there are no stampedes – no crazed bargain hunters prepared to run you over when the doors open. During BZB’s bazaar, shoppers can browse and talk with artists and vendors at their leisure. Most importantly, there’s a cornucopia of interesting and one-of-a-kind items to suit every member of the family – all housed under one roof and spread over two floors at the center.
I hope Britton continues to produce the gift and art show because it really gives me and I’m sure other shoppers in this region an event to look forward to each year.
