CHICAGO, May 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. reality show "Oprah's Big Give" will not be returning to ABC, the network's president of entertainment said Tuesday.

As he unveiled ABC's upcoming slate of programming in New York, Stephen McPherson said Winfrey's Chicago-based Harpo production company has decided not to do another season of "Oprah's Big Give."

"It wasn't something Oprah wanted to do," the Chicago Tribune quoted McPherson as saying.
