It States that as of this day no new episodes of Dr.Phil will be on the channel RTL.
There's a delay in airing ofcourse, and the last episode that has been aired in the Netherlands was originally aired in the US on the 26th of December.
I think everyone remembers the episode of exactly 1 week ago, about the 'alleged' child abuse victim.
No reasons for the stop of the show were given, ofcourse. But this is getting too obvious.

Google Translate: "After many years of RTL stop broadcasting programs of the famous TV psychologist Dr. Phil. The American talk show disappears immediately from the tube and will include both morning and at noon will be replaced by other programs.
Until recently it was Dr. Phil every afternoon to see between five and six on RTL4, but after the start of RTL Live was the program every day between four and five in the program. Since yesterday RTL chooses reruns of shows like Absolutely Stop, Married At First Sight and Hotel syndrome.
Also in the morning replaced the show, a repeat of RTL Boulevard. ,, We have made different choices in programming, "said a spokesman for RTL.
Stopping the program ensures disappointed reactions on Twitter."

Hang on minnie before we jump to conclusions. It wasn't canned after THAT episode played in the Netherlands. Dr Phils sow is syndicated to hundreds of channels around the world. Some renew their contracts, some dont. With that many stations around the world, what are the chances one just happens to cancel within a week of Dr Phils American screening of Pizzagate?
Pretty fuckn high I'd say
move along

Where exactly do you see me jumping to conclusions? Please quote me. Why is there no explanation for cutting the show off after being broadcasted for more than 10 years ánd having a steady fanbase in the Netherlands?
I like how you think the chances are "pretty fuckn high", please prove me wrong with some sources so I can educate myself. When done I will definitely move along.

no need to be so snooty, Im not saying yours is an invalid post. Its a fair question to ponder whether there's a connection. I'm just saying in the absence of direct evidence the chances are it is incidental happenstance.
Im just going by the numbers: He is syndicated in so many countries and channels that in any given week somewhere around the world some TV Channel will drop him and others will adopt him. If I wasn't Netherlands it could be New Zealand or Botswana or Laos dropping his show
Now, if this particular pizzagate episode aired on a station and that same station dropped him within a week, ok I'd be suspicious. But just running the numbers I think the onus is on the accuser to demonstrate that the dropping of the Dr Phil show is linked to a pizzagate topic aired on another continent altogether.
