Previously stations paid up to have 'Oprah' on the line-up as the mention of the show on local news stations brought in big ratings. But according to Variety, TV stations are not willing to shell out the major bucks any more as station ratings have dropped. More over 'Oprah' ratings are also down.
The Queen of daytime TV has a few options: 1) Cancel the show and focus on OWN, her network partnership with Discovery, 2)Move the twenty-three-year-old show over to Discovery or 3)Stick with the traditional TV stations and take a pay cut. O's given herself til the end of the year to decide the fate of her record breaking show.

Oprah has been wanting to do her own thing for a while now. And I remember her expressing cancelling The Oprah Show but she wanted to make history with her run time in comparison to Donauhe run time. But literally, there will never be another Oprah or Oprah Show she has changed the course of America on issues such as but not limited to:
Abuse (domestic violence)
Child abuse
emotional abuse
women empowerment
and
the new age movement.
Or lets not forget she was one of the reasons why President Obama was elected. Smiles. So whatever she decides, she has my support.
TV ratings are down because of sites and blogs like this and because of youtube and dailymotion.
