Sophia Madana http://www.chicagonow.com/profiles/SophiaMadana It's official: Oprah's skipping town and will discontinue her show, a staple in daytime-talk television for the last 24 years. Now that the word is out, and the idea of an Oprah-less television era has sunk into a reality, what are local tweeters thinking?

While some are treating the news like another sign of the apocalypse, others seem to think that the world will be just fine without the talk show queen.

    sabrinastpeter I literally do not know life sans Oprah. Show started year after I was born. @todayshow: NBC confirms #Oprah decided to end her show. #sad 20 Nov 2009 from UberTwitter
  2. Fortitude1913
    Fortitude1913 Also proud of what @oprah has done for #chicago. West Loop was all warehouses before Harpo moved in. Now a destination area. 20 Nov 2009 from web

    SuperJaye I just want to tell @oprah I am saddened, and a little hurt, but this is better than you moving your show to LA. 20 Nov 2009 from Echofon

    ijbarton might be alone in thinking that the end of Oprah's show will not be the downfall of Chicago 20 Nov 2009 from Seesmic

    natg115 What if the @oprah thing is all a huge rumor to boost ratings? http://myloc.me/1BefI 20 Nov 2009 from UberTwitter

    Bekelulu I can't believe Oprah Winfrey is leaving Chicago! Do we really think the media "got to her" as Mayor Daley says? 20 Nov 2009 from web

I am just happy that I am not going to watch a talk show where commercials are shown every 5 minutes. In addition, Oprah was a good talk show host, but people move on. She leaving chicago before Chicago leaves her.

    There's more to life than Oprah, or any one person.
