Production highlights include oversight of one of public television's more successful kids programs, It's a Big, Big World.

Her previous experience producing and managing a national children's program was The Dooley and Pals Show, a series syndicated on more than 100 commercial broadcast stations as well as on PBS from 2000-2003. King Reed also has extensive experience producing for cable networks, including The Health Network, where she produced a network launch event for television and the internet, including the live birth of triplets via satellite.
In addition to a deep content expertise in health programs, King Reed has produced numerous news and public affairs programs, live events, and cultural and performance programs. She has produced in the field, in studio, on sound stages, via satellite and microwave, and for local and national broadcast or syndication.
