FOX Soul is continuing its commitment to health-focused programming by renewing its distribution agreement with UrbanMD Studios for a second season of UrbanMD TV, the nationally broadcast series dedicated to promoting healthy living through a multicultural lens.
The new season premiered on June 20 and airs every Saturday at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT, bringing viewers expert medical advice, celebrity interviews and practical wellness information designed to make healthcare topics more accessible and relatable.
The renewed partnership marks another milestone for UrbanMD Studios founder Jon Marc Sandifer, a former BET Networks executive who launched the series to bridge the gap between medical professionals and communities often underserved by traditional health programming.
“Working with FOX Soul has been a transformative experience for UrbanMD TV,” Sandifer said in a statement. “Their commitment to delivering authentic content that resonates with diverse communities aligns perfectly with our mission to package vital medical information in a lifestyle TV format, ensuring households across the country have access to the knowledge and resources they need for better health.”
The series is unique in the television landscape as the only nationally broadcast program devoted exclusively to health and wellness from a multicultural perspective. By combining expert medical guidance with conversations about everyday health challenges, UrbanMD TV aims to educate viewers while encouraging healthier lifestyles.
Returning for Season 2 are resident physicians and co-anchors Dr. Lauren Powell and Dr. April Spencer, who guide discussions on a wide range of medical topics. Joining the on-air lineup this season are guest hosts Dr. Aja McCutchen, a gastroenterologist, and Dr. Cynthia Wesley, an OB-GYN, expanding the show’s expertise across multiple medical specialties.
The upcoming season also features appearances by several notable guests, including radio personality Angela Yee, Petersburg, Virginia, Mayor Sam Parham, former New York Knicks star Allan Houston and actress Tiffany Haddish. Their conversations are expected to explore health, wellness and community issues while highlighting the importance of preventive care and informed decision-making.
UrbanMD Studios describes its mission as educating and inspiring viewers to lead healthier lives by presenting trusted medical information in an engaging lifestyle format. The company has built its brand around making healthcare conversations more inclusive and easier to understand.
For FOX Soul, the renewal reflects the network’s broader focus on programming that informs, inspires and empowers its audience. Alongside faith-based shows, cultural conversations and entertainment, UrbanMD TV adds an important educational component that addresses health disparities and promotes wellness within diverse communities.
As awareness of preventive healthcare continues to grow, the renewed partnership between FOX Soul and UrbanMD Studios positions UrbanMD TV to reach even more households with trusted medical insights delivered in a format designed to educate, entertain and inspire.
