LONDON (AP) -- It's the talk show talked about around the world.
Oprah Winfrey's announcement week that she will end her daytime TV program after its 25th season in 2011 made headlines from London to Johannesburg. Audiences for the show might be smaller outside the United States, but the whole world knows Oprah -- a celebrity ambassador for American culture who has influenced everything from the aspirations of young African girls to the global publishing industry.
In London's Brixton neighborhood, a center for Britain's Afro-Caribbean community, shoppers had warm words Tuesday for the American star.
"I don't watch that often, but she has definitely had an impact on me personally," said Tanya Wallis, 46. "She has helped me broaden my horizons and to diversify to look at others with more acceptance. We are all part of the human family."
