I was just reading that they are going to be ending the show soon ,thought I would mention it and see if any else read something about that..

I Read the same thing. I don't know if it has anything to do with his MS.
I guess i will kind of miss his show

I was curious about the details of his exiting also. I read that they would be airing 52 episodes for the next television season that they are calling "The Best of Montel", so it doesn't seem things are on bad terms.....but I don't know. I'll miss the show, well mostly the Sylvia Browne days.

Maybe Montell is just ready to go that's all.

I am not surprised. He has been on a long time. Maybe his MS is becoming too much.
Lots of folks will miss him.
I am not one of them.

He has had his own show for 17 years and wants to persue other interests. He says its NOT MS related, but it will free him and allow him to get involved in other passions in his life. Have you noticed that he seems to have had Silvia Brown on 3 out of 5 days a week lately? Now, I am NOT saying there is anything wrong with her, I just want to see other topics. its great that she told someone in the audience that their dead momma is ok, but after awhile it doesnt hold your attention anymore. I would like to see more shows about topics that affect me, or that I can relate to. I must admit, I havent been watching him much anymore.

Maybe Sylvia Brown foretold Montel his future and he decided enough was enough. LOL.

It seems as though he has become more active in other areas and possibly he wants to really pursue those. (Like writing a book on HOW to eat 4 pounds of fruit and veggies a day and not suffer ill effects on our digestive systems. LOL) Whatever he decides to do, I have to admire him for doing this despite his MS. What an inspiration to us all.

Seems he had a bit of a blow-up in the media a few months back, so maybe he knows he has had enough:

I can't imagine the stress he has lived under over the last 10 yrs or so with this disease, especially with such a high profile career. I am glad he has decided to move on . . . at least for the potential benefit for his own health.

Here's the news from the broadcaster-angle:

Montel's ratings had been on slow decline. I'm sure he'll find another project to work on.
