Grogin originally joined CBS in 2016, working with CBS Television Distribution. He started working with CBS Entertainment in 2018. He was perhaps best known in the industry for being responsible for CBS’ daily ratings information, including his “Notes for Nerds” newsletter.

Scott’s PR skills and media relationships are broad, his Texas heart is big, and I’m extremely grateful for his significant contributions to our Comms team.”
Prior to his time at CBS, Grogin was the head of global communications for Fox Networks Group for 17 years. He also spent six years at NBCUniversal in various communications roles.
