Oprah Winfrey's presence in Chicago may soon diminish even more.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Winfrey has hired a real estate firm to options for the Harpo Studios production compound on West Washington Boulevard.
According to a Tribune source, Winfrey is considering several options, from selling some of the four buildings, refinancing the loans or conducting a sale and lease-back transaction.
Winfrey produced her talk show from the studios beginning in 1988 until the show's demise a couple of years ago.
