It All Begins with An Idea

Montel Media is a media and storytelling company built on a decades-long partnership between Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Montel Williams and producer Melanie McLaughlin. For more than 37 years, their collaboration has produced impactful programming, cultural conversations, and trusted media brands that reach audiences around the world.

Their work together is best known for the 17-year Emmy Award-winning run of The Montel Williams Show—one of the most influential daytime talk shows in television history. Since then, Montel Media has expanded across television, film, publishing, and digital media, developing projects that inform, inspire, and challenge conventional thinking.

The company has produced scripted and unscripted television, including the CBS primetime drama Matt Waters, award-winning public service campaigns, national commercial content, and multiple New York Times bestselling books. Today, Montel Media continues to grow its digital footprint through original programming including the podcasts Let’s Be Blunt with Montel and Free Thinking with Montel, which explore health, wellness, science, policy, and human potential.

Montel Media is actively developing new television, film, and digital series designed to spark conversation and elevate meaningful stories.

Montel Media does not accept unsolicited creative material.
