Dr. Phil is Back With His Own TV Network and New Primetime Show!!!!

Dr. Phil is making his return to TV in a big way by launching his own cable network, as well as anchoring a new nightly show.

He is calling his new TV network “Merit Street Media” with his new talk show that will be aired every night at 8 PM ET will be called “Dr. Phil Primetime.”

The first episode will air on Monday, Feb. 26 and it will be the same format as his show “Dr. Phil,” with the only difference is it will be filmed in front of a live studio audience in a new studio in Texas.

Phil talked about his new cable network saying it is “dedicated to bringing viewers essential news and entertainment” and wants to have real conversations with the problems the family may be having because “American families and our core values are under attack.”

His past talk show lasted 21 seasons on TV and ended this past may.

Now that he is back with his own network and new time a lot of it stays the same, he said, “As always, the audience will dictate our content because they are our content.”

Dr. Phil continued “I continue my pledge to help individuals, couples, and families have the tough conversations, face the hard realities, and get real answers for the most positive and effective outcome.”
