According to an interview with People.com, Tyra Banks (@tyrashow) has announced she is ending her talk show run at the end of this season in Spring of 2010.

Banks further catapulted her super-stardom (and solidified her position as one of Hollywood’s most talented media moguls) when she launched The Tyra Banks Show (despite criticisms and naysayers) five years ago and succeeded in building a loyal following and stellar ratings.

Banks spoke positively of her decision to end her talk show:

“I’ve been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years.  My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.”

Her next endeavor is just as bold as her decision to produce her own talk show.  Banks is launching a film production company (based in New York City) that will strive to foster positive images of women in the media.  No word on exactly when the new production  company (Bankable Studios)  will launch or who the principals will be.

Banks’ other tv productions (America’s Next Top Model and True Beauty) will remain on air indefinitely.
