Dr. Phil McGraw’s Merit Street Media is filing for bankruptcy, and is also suing its distribution partner, Trinity Broadcasting, for breach of contract.

A lawsuit says Trinity Broadcasting Network failed to meet its obligations to Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media, which was launched in 2024.

Last year, in an effort to capitalize on anti-woke backlash, Dr. Phil (real name Phil McGraw) launched his own TV channel, which he said would be used to fight the good fight against the far left’s radical crazies. Merit Street Media, according to McGraw, would be a vanguard in the battle for the soul of America.
