Bishop T. D. Jakes Goes Primetime with Talk show
T.D. Jakes show in fall '09 pipeline
Tribune Broadcasting has cut a deal with CBS Television Distribution for a fall 2009 daytime talker to be hosted by Bishop T.D. Jakes.
Strip is being developed by producer Jay McGraw, who is exec producer of CBS TV Distribution's fledging daytime strip "The Doctors."
Pact gives the show a station home in all of Tribune's 19 markets, including the key markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. CBS TV Distribution has yet formally to green light the show for next year, but the Tribune deal goes a long way toward pushing it to the finish line.
Jakes is an author and well-traveled motivational speaker who heads the Dallas-based mega-church Potter's House.
Tribune and CBS TV Distribution declined comment.
