Launched in April 2024, Merit TV is the flagship network of Emmy-award-winning TV talk show host Dr. Phil’s Merit Street Media. Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Merit TV is anchored by the hit show Dr. Phil Primetime.
“I absolutely love talking to real people about real problems. People who aren’t just complaining but are actively looking for real solutions to better their lives,” said Dr. Phil. “American families and our core values are under attack. I love this country, and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.” Dr. Phil continues to receive thousands of requests from viewers seeking advice.
More than 30 million households had access to Merit TV at launch, but now that number has grown to over 100 million.
