Fans of talk show giant, Oprah Winfrey, have a limited amount of time to enjoy her popular show.

Tim Bennett, president of Harpo, Inc. announced Thursday that "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will air its final episode on Sept. 9, 2011, marking her 25th season.

Winfrey will make the official announcement Friday on her show at 4 p.m.

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.

A year later, Winfrey established Harpo and her talk show went into syndication. In 1990, Winfrey opened Harpo Studios in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.

It was not clear why she made the decision to take the show off the air.
