Wolfgang Link, Chief Entertainment Officer and CEO of Seven.One Entertainment Group, has decided to leave ProSiebenSat.1 as of July 15, 2023, after 14 years with the German media company.
Due to the strategic realignment of the group and the focus on the core business entertainment, ProSiebenSat.1 CEO Bert Habets will directly manage the entertainment segment in the future. Link will remain with the company as an advisor until at least the end of the year.
“ProSiebenSat.1 continues to be an entertainment icon. I am certain that we will make the most of this company’s great potential if we act decisively and consistently, despite the difficult market environment. The transformation of the group is essential, and we will continue to invest heavily in local and international content in the future,” said Habets.
“Through Wolfgang Link, ProSiebenSat.1 has built up many excellent stars and talents like Joko & Klaas, produced top-class local content and created an innovative content house. I thank Wolfgang for the cooperative partnership and look forward to having him continue with us as an advisor.”
Link added: “I look back on the past 14 years with great gratitude. Together with a great team, we have written a piece of entertainment history. I say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all colleagues, artists, producers, advertisers and business partners who have accompanied me on this fantastic journey. It was and is a great privilege to inform and entertain Germany with great content every day. I look forward to continuing to serve ProSiebenSat.1 as an advisor.”
