What will become of The Dr. Oz. Show with Mehmet Oz running for U.S. Senate?
-
Oz's website, DoctorOz.com, was transformed today from a destination for his daytime talk show to his U.S. Senate campaign site. As TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich notes, The Dr. Oz Show has been renewed through 2023. "Reps for Sony Pictures Television, which co-produces The Dr. Oz Show, had no comment, but sources tell us that the studio is reviewing its options and discussing with broadcast partners how to possibly move forward," says Mitovich. "This much is known, however: what used to be the daytime show’s online hub, DoctorOz.com, abruptly shifted gears on Tuesday, erasing any and all show/tune-in information and replacing it with news of Oz’s campaign launch and a 'Why I’m Running' explainer."
