“Get ready, get ready, get ready, Bishop T.D. Jakes has been given the green-light for his talk show!”
According to elev8.hellobeautiful.com, Jakes is taking the talk show plunge with a syndicated series targeted for a fall 2016 debut.
Jakes has been pursued on and off for years by distributors for a daytime talk show. “The TD Jakes Show,” had a test run this summer and was well received.
Bishop Jakes said,
“The goal is to deliver a show that will “engage a broader audience with relevant and uplifting content (that) is consistent with my years of experience at the intersections of the faith-based, entertainment and business worlds, “This is an unprecedented opportunity to bring a new voice to a familiar platform.”
His production partners say,
“With Jakes at the helm, this program has an opportunity to attract blue-chip advertisers, generate large audiences and empower viewers across the country. During the show’s test run this summer, Jakes’ audience grew each week in every market. Once viewers found him, they liked him and we look forward to introducing him to a wider audience next fall.”
Jakes’ talk show will be syndicated through Tegna (formerly Gannett) Media.
