Reg Grundy Organisation
The Reg Grundy Organisation (later the Grundy Organisation or just Grundys, then Grundy Television) was an Australian television production company founded in 1959 by businessman Reg Grundy (born Reginald Roy Grundy). It has since branched out into Europe and the USA. The company first produced game shows, before branching into soap operas in 1973. In 1995, Reg Grundy sold the company to Pearson PLC, which has since become known as FremantleMedia and is part of the RTL Group (in turn 90% owned by Bertelsmann). In 2006 FremantleMedia merged Grundy Television and Crackerjack Productions to form FremantleMedia Australia. However, the name Grundy still exists in Germany as Grundy Light Entertainment and in Italy as Grundy Productions Italy.
