Is the queen of daytime TV, Oprah Winfrey, finally down and out?

Despite being named by Forbes magazine as the most powerful celebrity in Hollywood, Oprah Winfrey’s daytime show had its lowest ratings in its 24-year history last week.

While making a staggering $315 million last year, the 56-year-old’s connection with her audience may be slipping, the New York Post reported.

The show has been in re-runs for several weeks, as it was this time last year.

Ratings website TVbythenumbers.com said ratings were down 23 percent from the same time last year.

The setback may be due to Oprah’s announcement that her free-to-air show will end next year. Despite this she has no difficulties booking A-list talent and in the US her advertisement space sells at the highest price on afternoon TV.
