Reflecting on the renewal Dr. Oz said: “I’m honored to have our long-term partners continue to support our mission to keep America healthy while providing context and analysis of complicated information in this unprecedented time.”

“Fox Television stations renewing The Dr. Oz Show for seasons 13 and 14, underscores the on-going value the show delivers for local broadcast stations,” said John Weiser, president of first-run television for Sony Pictures Television. “Dr. Oz is the hardest working talent in daytime television.”
Added Frank Cicha, EVP of programming, Fox Television Stations, “The lengths to which Mehmet Oz goes above and beyond for local stations is unmatched in the industry, so we’re glad to be extending the show. And he still takes Aetna, right?”
The Dr. Oz Show has been on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic, producing 55 original shows during the height of the epidemic reaching 22 million viewers.
