Overview

• Envoy Media Co. will operate from the former Merit Street headquarters in Dallas, utilizing a 50,000-square-foot studio and office facility.
• The company plans to debut its streaming service later this month with a companion linear channel to launch shortly after, subject to pending distribution and talent agreements.
• A core feature of Envoy is its app-based platform that enables citizen journalists to upload and curate community stories for national broadcast.
• Its programming slate will combine live, balanced news coverage with original entertainment series, including new shows helmed by Dr. Phil and Steve Harvey.
• The venture follows Merit Street Media’s Chapter 11 filing and lawsuit against Trinity Broadcasting Network over alleged distribution breaches after the channel’s low primetime viewership.
