No Bull for Dr. Phil

More signs that Dr. Phil’s “Merit Street Media” is headed for the trash heap.

The Professional Bull Riders released this statement saying that Dr. Phil hasn’t been paying the bill.

“Beginning this weekend, PBR events scheduled to be carried on Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media, including the Merit+ and PBR+ apps, will now be available LIVE and FREE on RidePass on Pluto TV, PBR's YouTube channel, PBR's mobile app, and PBR's app on connected TVs, including Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Google TV, free to fans.

PBR has parted ways with Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media because they breached our contract by failing to pay rights fees owed, giving us no choice and very little time to find a new home for PBR.

We apologize for this inconvenience, which is completely outside our control. As we seek a long-term home for PBR broadcast to complement CBS, we will share further information about additional viewing options when available.”
