Strip is being developed by producer Jay McGraw, who is exec producer of CBS TV Distribution's fledging daytime strip "The Doctors."
Pact gives the show a station home in all of Tribune's 19 markets, including the key markets of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. CBS TV Distribution has yet formally to greenlight the show for next year, but the Tribune deal goes a long way toward pushing it to the finish line.
Jakes is an author and well-traveled motivational speaker who heads the Dallas-based mega-church Potter's House.
Tribune and CBS TV Distribution declined comment.
