The Chicago studio where Oprah Winfrey tapes her soon-to-end talk show soon will be home to Rosie O'Donnell's latest daytime television effort, which is set to debut on the Oprah Winfrey Network this autumn, Harpo Studios announced on Tuesday.

The announcement ends speculation about what will become of Winfrey's Harpo Studios on Chicago's West Side when The Oprah Winfrey Show ends taping this spring. Winfrey opened the studios in 1990.

"I'm delighted to welcome Rosie to the studio I've called home for so many years," Winfrey said in a statement.

The network announced last summer that O'Donnell would return to television with a one-hour talk show to air on OWN. The network said at the time that the show would be based in New York.

"I can't wait to do my show from Chicago," O'Donnell said in a statement. "It's a dream come true... beyond the beyond."
