You're reading it here first.
I'm told by sources that the chance is now ''99,9%'' that SABC3 will be pushing out the planned start of the 25th and final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show that the broadcaster had on the schedule for January 2011.
Oprah that's now in the January schedule will - according to my sources - be moved imminently to possibly February or even March although it will pain SABC3 to do so since the channel wants to catch up with America and ride on the hype of the final season.
I broke the news RIGHT HERE in November that SABC3 is eyeing a January starting date for the ''farewell season'' of Oprah, but now I'm told that the reason why SABC3 is going to move Oprah out of January is because of the Cricket World Cup tournament starting. That's the same reason that the planned relaunch of fellow talker 3Talk with Noeleen has been pushed back. ''Oprah might not launch in January,'' confirms another insider. SABC3 has also not yet been able to find an overall sponsor for the show, but haven't actually had time to look (whoever the sponsor is will definitely get big dividends).
