Dr. Phil says the first episode will premiere Monday, Feb. 26 … and it will follow the same format as his longtime daytime talk show, “Dr. Phil,” only it’s going to film in front of a live studio audience at a brand new studio in Texas.
Phil says his new cable network is “dedicated to bringing viewers essential news and entertainment” … and he wants to talk to families about real problems because “American families and our core values are under attack.”
Remember … Dr. Phil’s long-running talk show ended in May after 21 seasons on TV.
Now, Phil’s coming back on a new network and in a new time slot, but some things will remain the same, he says … “As always, the audience will dictate our content because they are our content.”
Dr. Phil adds … “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.”
