Tune in to “Oprah” today (Nov. 20); she will address her decision to leave show
From Programming Insider:
The big news late Thursday was Oprah Winfrey’s decision to conclude her syndicated talk show in 2011 after 25 seasons on the air to concentrate on her upcoming cable network OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery Communications.
The Queen of talk, who will officially step down on Sept. 9, 2011, will address her decision to leave on today’s show (airing at 4 p.m. Nov. 20 on KOCO-5 in Oklahoma City).
This does not mean, of course, that Oprah is officially done as a talk show host. A spokesperson at Harpo, Oprah’s production company, declined to comment on what exactly Oprah’s participation would be at OWN.
Said a spokesman for CBS Television Distribution: “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.”

Oklahoma Alert: Dennis Rodman meets Judge Jeanine Pirro
Five-time NBA Champion Dennis Rodman, who played college basketball at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, is going to court against his friend and assistant, Thear Mustafa.
His case will be heard on “Judge Jeanine Pirro,” airing at 9 a.m. Monday (Nov. 2) on KOKH-25.
Rodman alleges that Mustafa gambled away $4,000 of his money after a promotional event in Atlantic City. Mustafa claims that he was trying to earn back money that Rodman had gambled away earlier that day.
Rodman, who plans to donate any winnings from the hearing to charity, was a three-time NAIA All-American at Southeastern Oklahoma State and led the NAIA in rebounding in both the 1984–85 and 1985–86 seasons.
