Legendary Media Mogul Reg Grundy had the vision and drive to achieve what others could not even imagine. Before global distribution existed, before internet and before widely available international travel, Grundy took his innovative formats and series around the globe, setting up local productions in over 80 countries worldwide! He was first to see the value in format ownership and creating locally produced global adaptations. With his wife and partner Joy Chambers-Grundy, he built the largest independent production company in the world, amassing an impressive and valuable library of over 180 separate series, setting an industry record.
Reg Grundy put Australian television on the map and brought the world massive hits including: “Neighbours,” “Prisoner: Cell Block H,” “Sons and Daughters,” “Wheel of Fortune,” “Blankety Blanks” “Questions Pour Un Champion,” “Sale of the Century” and hundreds more series, dramas, game shows and movies. His work continues to captivate audiences today.
