I was watching Newsradio and noticed that it was produced by Brillstein/Grey Productions and I knew that besides Newsradio Brillstein/Grey Productions was the sitcom king of producing many sitcoms for NBC in the 90's. I do know that Bernie Brillstein died and Brad Grey went solo and renamed the company Brad Grey Television. Is Brad Grey Television still around or has it gone broke?

Brad Grey transitioned into a career producing films and was President of Paramount Pictures from 2005 until 2017. He died in May 2017 from cancer at the age of 59.

Brad Grey is also dead? I didn't even know this news and it surprised me. I do remember reading about Bernie Brillstein in People Magazine when they promoted a book about Bernie Brillstein and people would say that he was a jolly good fellow and he knew about what ideas would make a sitcom successful. I wonder if the company got sold and who owns it now?

I think the company was likely dissolved or absorbed into another company.
