CBS Television Distribution Sends In The Doctors
First-Run Syndicated Show from Dr. Phil McGraw, Jay McGraw Cleared in 18 of Top 20 Markets
By B&C Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/24/2007 12:30:00 PM
CBS Television Distribution teamed up with Dr. Phil McGraw and his son Jay McGraw on The Doctors, which will join the syndication fray in the fall of 2008.
The first-run one-hour show was sold into all of the top 10 markets and 18 of the top 20, CBS Television Distribution CEO Roger King said.
The Doctors will be hosted by emergency-room Dr. Travis Stork (The Bachelor), with other participants including Dr. Lisa Masterson, an obstetrician/gynecologist; Dr. Andrew Ordon, a leading plastic surgeon; Dr. Tara Fields, a licensed marriage and family therapist; and Dr. Jim Sears, a renowned pediatrician.
Jay McGraw is executive-producing The Doctors (working title), which “features a dream team of five practicing medical professionals, ranging from a plastic surgeon to an OB/GYN to a therapist, who each day will engage viewers by investigating and discussing hot-button medical topics such as painkillers, obesity, how to lose weight, what not to feed your child and why some vaccines can be dangerous,” the programmer said in a statement.
“This is one of the most exciting launches we’ve had since Dr. Phil,” King said in a statement. “Every major broadcast group in the country has been talking about it. It’s really fun to introduce a whole new genre to first-run syndication, and it’ll take CBS Television Distribution to even greater heights.”

Drs. In the early 60,s I had many(10) teeth filled with mercury fillings by my dentist...can that have some effect on my health now that I'm 58 yrs. old?

Your program is very helpful to many people. Many issues have been addressed which we all need to know. Please address issues of hyper&hypo active thyroids. What is the danger of each? How can Natural (non-percription) remedies be applied and have success?
Please also address the issue of belly fat.tummy tuck, liposuction and dangers.For the last 5 years I have stated to arrange for a tummy tuck & liposuction, but have "chickened out". FEAR is major factor in not doing this procedure.
My grown son says belly fat can be eliminated just via exercise. This has not happened for me! Yet I am very active and do moderate my food intake.
Please e-mail me with any information that may be helpful to my concerns.
Thank you, Sharon
