Jörg Grabosch (born July 6, 1962 in Datteln , North Rhine-Westphalia ) is a German media entrepreneur and television producer for German private television.

Life

Born in Westphalia, he began his professional career as a freelance employee at the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung . In 1983 he switched to WDR , for which he worked as an author and director for seven years. After an interlude as head of duty at RIAS-TV (1990/91), Grabosch went to the pay station Premiere in 1991 . There he produced over 1200 live broadcasts for the daily interview magazine 0137 with Roger Willemsen as the presenter.

In 1994 Grabosch went to Cologne and became Executive Producer of the RTL night show hosted by Thomas Koschwitz . In the same year, Grabosch founded the production company Brainpool together with Martin Keß and Ralf Günther , which produces popular entertainment programs such as the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and 2012, the German ESC preliminary round (2010-2017), Schlag den Henssler , the German Comedy Prize, PussyTerror TV , The Harald Schmidt Show , Die Wochenshow , TV total and others.

After the Brainpool IPO in 1999 and the takeover of the company by VIVA Media AG, Managing Director Grabosch was also appointed to the board of the parent company, where he was responsible for the " content " area . After a management buy-out by Brainpool in 2006, Jörg Grabosch became one of the shareholders and managing directors of Brainpool TV GmbH with a 25 percent stake. After Banijay Entertainment acquired 50% of the shares in Brainpool in 2009, Grabosch's stake decreased to 12.5%.

After co-partner Stefan Raab had sold his Brainpool shares to Banijay in 2018, Banijay pushed the co-partners Grabosch and Andreas Scheuermann out of the management, who are taking legal action.
