As Oprah wraps up, her show's ratings reach an all time low.
"The Oprah Winfrey Show" hit an all-time ratings low for the week of June 28, averaging a 2.9 -- the first time in the show's 24-year history it fell below the 3.0 mark.

"Oprah" averaged 3.8 million viewers -- good enough for eighth among all syndicated shows but almost 2 million viewers less than daytime's reigning champ, "Judge Judy," which has now beaten "Oprah" 14 out of the past 16 weeks.

"Oprah" was also down 15 percent from the previous week and was off 9 percent from the same week last year.

2. Oprah lost a lot of her "fans" when she came out for Obama
Until she did that, she was just gal-pal-Oprah, and was loved by most..white or black, but once she dared to step over that line, she diminished her appeal to many .

She should have hung it up a few years ago.. Her show is stale and preachy and has been for a while

5. She lost me in 2003, when she had a general on and they criticized Code Pink
for taking a stand against the war. She allowed the general and others to accuse Code Pink and other anti-war protestors of demoralizing soldiers. That was the end for me.

4. Right, and that's why I think viewing was so low.
