Dr Phil’s Envoy TV Secures Nationwide Charter Distribution Amid Legal Dispute

Dr. Phil McGraw has secured a significant carriage deal for his new media venture, Envoy TV, with Charter Communications, ensuring nationwide distribution across Charter's 41-state footprint, including major markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas-Fort Worth. This deal comes just months after McGraw's previous media project, Merit Street Media, filed for bankruptcy and became embroiled in legal disputes with its former distribution partner, Trinity Broadcasting Network. Envoy TV will offer a mix of McGraw-hosted programs, contributions from personalities like Steve Harvey, and viewer-submitted content via the Envoy TV app, aiming to engage audiences with interactive and purpose-driven programming. Charter, the largest cable operator in the U.S. with 12.6 million subscribers, highlighted that adding Envoy TV expands entertainment choices for Spectrum customers at an exceptional value. McGraw expressed enthusiasm about partnering with Charter, praising their innovative entertainment platform as a game changer for American consumers and a perfect launchpad for Envoy TV's immersive approach. Additional distribution deals and programming details from Envoy Media are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
