Dominic Heinzl (born April 8, 1964 in Hollabrunn as Karl Heinzl ) is an Austrian journalist and presenter .

Life

Already at the commercial academy in Hollabrunn he designed a tabloid school newspaper. After graduating from high school , Heinzl worked at Ö3 until 1996 , where he moderated magazines such as Treffpunkt Ö3 and, in the mid-1980s, the youth magazine Kuschelecke . As early as the late 1980s, he could be seen as a presenter on the ORF broadcast X-Large .
From 1997 to the end of 2009 he worked at ATV (formerly W1). There he moderated the magazine Hi Society , which he produced himself with his company chilli.tv. During his time at Ö3, Heinzl also invented the blue pig energy drink . This found its way into the trade in 1995 and was initially supported by 72 radio spots from the Dr. Puttner Bates advertised. In addition to the themed gastronomy, the drink was initially available in Merkur , Spar and Meinl branches. On July 1, 1998, MHD , the energy drink distribution company run by Michael Heinzl, Dominic Heinzl's brother, filed for bankruptcy after assets of four million schillings were offset by liabilities of 17 million schillings. The drink remained in the trade and only changed hands before it soon disappeared from the market entirely.

On January 23, 2008, the magazine Der Österreichische Journalist Dominic Heinzl named “ Journalist of the Year ” in the entertainment category; in the same year he received a Golden Romy in the category “Special Jury Prize”.

At the Romy Awards 2009 , the society expert received the Romy in the Most Popular Moderator category , beating Christoph Feurstein , Tarek Leitner , Rainer Pariasek , Jürgen Peindl and Armin Wolf . Also in 2010 he received the Romy as Most Popular Moderator .

After Heinzl's contract with ATV had expired on December 31, 2009 and was not extended, he returned to ORF on January 1, 2010. From January 11, 2010, the daily society format CHILI - Society with Dominic Heinzl , moderated by him, was broadcast in the evening program of ORF eins . Since the Society programs never reached the audience ratings, “Backstage” was discontinued at the end of July 2010, and “Chili” was shortened to ten minutes after a summer break. At the end of 2012, “Chili” was also discontinued by ORF.

For his critical remarks about the live coverage of the ORF at the Vienna Opera Ball 2011, he was criticized by some ORF foundation councils.

In May 2010 the daily newspaper Kurier printed a photo in which Heinzl - who actually lives in a long-term relationship with easy-Bank boss Sonja Sarközi - could be seen kissing the opera singer Victoria Rona. Heinzl was ready to comment on this in the ORF program Seitenblicke , whereby this topic gained even more publicity, and announced a lawsuit against the courier .

In October 2012, after the ORF television program “Die große Chance”, Dominic Heinzl and rapper Sido had an argument which - after Heinzl said he had called Sido a “idiot” - ended in violence. The ORF then released Sido, but reversed this a few days later. Almost at the same time it became known that Heinzl's contract for the program Chili was no longer extended for 2013; this decision should not be related to Heinzl's dispute with Sido. In August 2014, Heinzl was awarded compensation in a newly opened civil court case after News magazine portrayed him as a simulator.

Since August 2017, Dominic Heinzl has been working for the Austrian private broadcaster ATV again after 2009 and since September 2018 he has been moderating "Heinzl and the VIPs", a humorous look at the local events and society.
