The Tyra Show began in 2005 and has won 2 emmy daytime awards, 2008 & 2009.

After the show ends, she will now focus on her new film company, Bankable Studios, aiming “positive images of women to the big screen”

“This will be the last season of The Tyra Show,” Banks tells PEOPLE exclusively. “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.”

“There’s a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart,” Banks writes in an open letter on her website. “And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all.”

This is indeed a new challenge for Tyra and I’m sure a lot of people will support her. She already has the support and encouragement from Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.

So maybe the reason why Oprah ended her show was to show support for Tyra. I heard from some people that Oprah will be part of Bankable Studios but I’m not really sure.

I’ll truly miss watching new episodes on The Tyra Show but we’ll be still seeing Tyra on America’s Next Top Model and True Beauty. Goodluck Tyra!
