In this CBS 2 Chicago story, California and Chicago get knocked.
There has been talk for some time that Winfrey would move Harpo Productions Inc., her production company, out of Chicago and possibly create her own network.
A Deadline.com report indicated that Winfrey's new show will be based in Los Angeles, and that Winfrey hopes to divest her Chicago real estate "as soon as possible."
Deadline.com quoted Winfrey as saying to "insiders:" "Why would anybody stay in Chicago? It's freezing here, and I have a mansion in Montecito that I haven't been able to enjoy."
The report said Winfrey has continued to live part-time in Chicago so she wouldn't have to pay high taxes as a California resident.
Winfrey was an enthusiastic backer of Barack "Spread the Wealth" Obama's presidential campaign.
