Oprah is leaving us – Forbes gives us the winners and losers of the big announcement.
Come 2011, Oprah Winfrey will draw the curtain on her hugely popular syndicated daytime talk show. She held back tears as she made the announcement on Friday’s show: “I love this show,” she said. “This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye.” The move will allow the self-made billionaire to focus on her forthcoming cable channel, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture between Harpo Productions and Discovery Communications ( DISCA – news – people ). Who gets helped and who gets hurt by Winfrey’s choice to move on after 25 years? A look. – From Forbes
