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."
