Here's what the paper and the memos won't tell you...

Yes, she is ending her show on September 9th, she told her staffers earlier today. She will say it on a live taping of her show tomorrow. However, it is only the end of Chicago's Oprah Winfrey Show, not the show itself.

Oprah has secretly bought a new studio in LA. She plans on turning it into a state of the art studio that will house a few shows, most of which will air on her own cable network, OWN, when that launches.

Look for Oprah herself to return to TV on TWO shows, a half hour show and an hour show, both of which will only be on OWN on 2012. The one hour show will be similar to the Oprah Winfrey Show she has now, but focusing more on current events and personal development.

Oprah will spend the next almost two years of this tearful goodbye tour, saying how much she loves Chicago. The day following her last show, she will quickly leave Chicago behind for Hollywood. That's the true story that Oprah won't/can't say on her show tomorrow, so she can suck up the accolades, tributes and ratings boost this "goodbye" announcement will give her.
