Oprah Winfrey's charity, The Angel Network, is shutting down as her talk show draws to a close.
The network stopped accepting donations this week and said on its website that it plans to dissolve as soon as its remaining funds are disbursed.
The Angel Network was launched in 1998 with donations from viewers of Winfrey's talk show; its demise stems from her decision to end her Chicago-based show in 2011, after
25 years on the air, Angel Network spokeswoman Angela DePaul said.
The website notice said Winfrey and the network's directors are "extremely grateful" to the nearly 150,000 donors who gave more than $80 million to the charity. (AP)
