Five Questions for:
Reece King
As the new Met Report director, King has leadership, determination and a splash of good looks under his belt. The first Met Report broadcasts will begin in the fall semester.
I have been on the staff for a long time — since 2005. I saw that the Met Report was lacking strong leadership and so I felt very strongly about it, and so I went through the normal hoops you had to go through — where you apply and do an interview. It’s really more of a personal quest of mine.
2. Why TV?
I really love visual news. Visual images can be very stimulating and inspiring. I think TV is a strong medium that a lot of people enjoy and utilize.
3. How close are you to visualizing your goals and what you want for the new Met Report?
I’m very close. I just need to get things a little more departmentalized and organized before the school year starts, so organization is just the biggest thing. We’ve got a lot of new equipment, a lot more new people, a lot of new ideas so I need to get the new and the old and make everything more cohesive.
4. What is something new that you’re planning with the Met Report?
I think we’re going to have a lot more (content) about politics and more wide reaching news that people are actually more interested in versus what’s Metro because, although it is interesting, I think people need to be informed about
news going on all over Denver.
5. What do you think of the Sonia Sotamayor hearings?
Honestly, I fi nd them quite interesting because I don’t know necessarily what the Republican game plan is, but it just seems like she’s getting a little bit beat up by that side. I find it very interesting...it’s replacing history.
