BREAKING. Goodbye Oprah, but hello Dr. Oz! SABC3 secures the new Dr. Oz talk show to replace Tyra Banks later in the year.

You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively break the news that SABC3 will replace The Tyra Banks Show when it concludes its 5th season later in the year with the new weekday talk show Dr. Oz.

Although SABC3 is losing The Oprah Winfrey Show later in the year when Oprah's show concludes at the end of its 25th and final ''farewell'' season, the public broadcaster's commercial channel has jumped to fill at least one timeslot on the weekday schedule later in the year with an Oprah protege in the form of the popular Dr. Oz. SABC2 already carries Dr. Phil.

Dr. Oz, currently in its 2nd season in America will be replacing The Tyra Banks Show in the 14:30 timeslot on SABC3 later in the year.

BREAKING. SABC1 is taking over The Tyra Banks Show from SABC3 from February. And I know how it will work and exactly why.

You're reading it here first.

While some people working at these channels don't even know it yet, I can exclusively break the news that The Tyra Banks Show is moving from its longtime home on SABC3 to SABC1 from the beginning of February and I can also already tell you why.

While workers at SABC1 and especially SABC3 are going to be surprised by this news, I can spill that the current 5th season of The Tyra Banks Show will do exactly what younger siblings do when the older sibling moves out of the house. Take over the room.

The Tyra Banks Show will start on SABC1 from 1 February and will be broadcast from Tuesdays to Fridays between 10:00 and 11:00. Cue SABC3 baffled faces. Why? Because not everyone at SABC3 knows that this is going to happen. More context? Sure. The 5th season of The Tyra Banks Show will start a bit before what was already show on SABC3 and be a few days behind. The talk show move isn't planned as permanent, but the powers that be will see how it does.

Why the change? Two reasons SABC isn't telling but I can reveal: Firstly the licence is going to run out and the SABC overall wants to broadcast and complete the season while its still allowed. Secondly the cricket on SABC3 is preempting Tyra and interrupting the timeslot during which The Tyra Banks Show would have gone out. Overall the SABC wants a talk show in a morning slot as an alternative for viewers on one of the channels. Now how is that for some Friday scoop.

BREAKING. Tyra the Tyranosaur?

After the news of her announcement earlier this week that's she'e ending her talk show after 5 seasons at the end of 2010, scared (and ANGRY!) staff on The Tyra Banks Show are now spilling their guts to The New York Post.

Here's some of the juicy quotes from staffers on Tyra's talk show who are NOT happy at all:

''There had been high turnover of employees for years. It was pretty difficult to work for Tyra. ''She and the higher-ups on the production staff could be extremely brutal. She really is a diva."  - past crew member

"Everything had to be done Tyra's way." - source

It seems that Miss Tyra didn't tell her staffer that she's ending the show which moved from Los Angeles to New York a few years ago. They had to find out about it in the news. The 4th season of The Tyra Banks Show will start on 11 January at 11:25 on SABC3.

BREAKING. Tyra Banks ending her talk show in 2010.

The Hollywood Reporter just broke the news a few minutes ago that Tyra Banks will be ending her talk show.

I was FIRST with the news HERE on 8 December that SABC3 will show the brand new 4th season in South Africa from Monday, 11 January at 11:25.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Tyra Banks will end The Tyra Banks Show at the end of the 2010 season. She wants to start her own movie studio, Bankable Studios to produce films.

UPDATE (Monday 28 Dec, 20:06) - On her website Tyra Banks writes: ''This will be the last season of The Tyra Show. I've been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past five years . . . [Your] love and support is always felt by me and it's given me the courage to take more exciting steps in my life. So I thank you for that.''

BREAKING. Tyra returns. SABC3 has the 4th season and I know when it starts.

You're reading it here first. The Tyra Banks Show with Tyra Banks will return to SABC3 for the 4th season of the weekday chat fest on 11 January at 11:25.

There's 170 brand-new episodes in this season that will go out from Mondays to Fridays. Tyra Banks has won a Daytime Emmy award last year as well as this year for outstanding talk show.
