Dinah Shore, Tom Snyder, Phil Donahue, Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake and Johnny Carson, just to name a few. Throw out those names at your average 20-something and they won't know who they hell you're talking about. I wonder if 15 or 20 years from now the same thing will occur with the mention of Oprah's name. Lots of people have had iconic talks shows.

Part of me wants to sing and dance that she'll finally be off the air on the major networks and that the only way I'll ever have to see her is if I, by some random act of misfortune, happen to tune into OWN. But, being a Chicagoan, I don't want to see her go because of her effect on the local economy. Her kingdom is worth millions to the city in terms of income, tourism, jobs, etc. That will suck to lose. I’m mixed on this news.
