Merit Street Media, under Harvey’s influence, will benefit from his expertise in production, talent development, and various other services. This partnership not only marks a significant business collaboration but also celebrates over a decade of personal friendship between Harvey and McGraw. “Steve and I have been personal friends for over a decade, and working together has always been an exceptional experience,” McGraw shared, highlighting Harvey’s unique blend of humor, kindness, and dedication to philanthropy.
An exciting aspect of this partnership is the production of a special program focusing on a mentoring initiative led by Harvey in Georgia, aimed at young men. This special, co-executive produced by Harvey, will also feature McGraw and is designed to inspire its young audience. The special ties into the broader mission of the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, emphasizing the transformative power of mentorship.
Additionally, Merit Street Media has acquired over 300 episodes of Harvey’s daytime talk show, “Steve,” which aired from 2017 to 2019. This acquisition adds a substantial volume of content to the new network’s offerings. Harvey expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Partnering with my good friend on such an innovative network allows me to continue my mission of empowering and inspiring individuals through entertainment.” He further highlighted the importance of the documentary-style special, which showcases the impactful work of his foundation, underscoring his belief in mentorship’s ability to change lives. Harvey and McGraw’s joint efforts promise to bring about a significant and positive impact through their upcoming projects.
