Dear Friends,
Thank you for all the calls, emails and demonstrations of support you have sent my way since the announcement that CBS and The Montel Williams show is coming to a parting of ways after this, our 17th season on the air.
Please know that there is nothing sinister behind this development. CBS did not decide to stop distributing the show because I have MS, nor did that corporation “cancel” the show because of any statements I may have made.
And perhaps most important of all, The Montel Williams MS Foundation is an independently run 501 (C-3)non-profit that is not subject to the scheduling decisions of CBS, a for-profit company.
So thanks again for your enthusiastic support for me and the Foundation, and I look forward to working with you to defeat multiple sclerosis.Sincerely,
Montel B. Williams
