The new one-hour talk show, hosted by popular television personality Trisha Goddard, has been sold to the Sinclair Station Group, including local broadcast stations in 27 major markets such as Tampa, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Columbus and San Antonio.

"Over the past several seasons of appearing as a guest host and conflict-resolution expert on ‘Maury,' Trisha has proven, time and again, that her brand of talk resonates with viewers," said Wallach.
