The new network of Dr. Phil obtains a charter case in Charter

While a legal struggle on his last media company continues, Dr. Phil McGraw has enclosed a transport agreement that will help his neighbor to reach potential viewers.

Send TV, a cable and streaming round that McGraw announced in July – two weeks after his Merit Street Media filed a bankruptcy file and continued its distribution partner, Trinity Broadcasting – signed a distribution agreement with Charter Communications. The agreement will bring TV to charter video customers, notably on Big Markets New York, Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth, the latter is the MCGRAW and Envid attachment base.

“I am delighted to put the charter team’s jersey and launch our new television network sent flagship with my friends at the main cable and wide band supplier in the country,” MCGRAW said in a statement. “Their dedication to relentless innovation made to charter the perfect launch for the” partinion “approach to Envy TV by entertaining, informing and impacting the national public.” I can’t wait to start. “

Like Merit Street, Sent will offer a mixture of programs hosted by MCGRAW – both original and the library of its former unionized talk show – and contributions from the actor and television host Steve Harvey. The bit “in in detail” of the MCGRAW quote implies an element in the TV app, where users can download their own content, some of which can be shared on the national flow of the network.

Charter had around 12.6 million video customers in the second quarter of this year thanks to its operation of the Spectrum cable.

Meanwhile, a bankrupt trial on the file of Chapter 11 of Merit Street is underway in a Dallas court. Trinity, a Christian broadcaster who agreed to distribute the Merit TV from the beginning of 2024, contradicted Merit Street Media after the bankruptcy deposit, saying that McGraw failed to reach the viewer (Merit Street was generally an average of 100,000 viewers per day) and objectives of advertising revenue.

Tembling during the trial in September, McGraw said that he had “capitulated” the chapter 11 file and said that if Trinity “stayed long enough, it would have been the best investment they ever made.”

“Dr. Phil is a prominent and emblematic voice on television with a large fans base and bringing its network to our range is further expanding the entertainment choices available for Spectrum customers to exceptional value,” said Tom Montemagno, programming acquisition of executive vice-president to Charter.
