HOLLYWOOD - TV titan Oprah Winfrey is to quit her hit daily show when her contract ends in five years--so she can concentrate on putting child predators behind bars.

The beloved multimedia icon told talk-show hoat Larry King that she plans to dedicate her time to heroic causes when her show, Oprah, ends in 2012.

In an interview that aired on Tuesday, she told the CNN anchorman, "I have four or five years left on my show, and when I'm done with that contract, I'm done. Then I want to change the laws, state by state, for child predators in this country. And that's what I want to have done.

"I won't be satisfied until that is done. The children of the United States are being stolen, raped, tortured, and killed by sexual predators. I want the laws to change."

Winfrey has been active in putting a handful of on-the-run perverts behind bars after launching a campaign to name and shame America's most wanted child predators on her show.
