Jacque\'s poise and talent have taken her from CBS and NBC affiliated programs to national news notoriety. From 1999-2001, she took that platform to the next level as the anchor of CNN Headline News. She then became the sole news anchor for BET Nightly News from 2001-2005, which established her as the face of reliable information for people of color.

In 2006-2007, Jacque brought her infectious personality to ABC\'s The View, becoming a regular guest co-host on the Emmy Award-winning show. During her time, she\'s interviewed Ed Norton, Kerry Washington, Chris Rock, and Cyndi Lauper. In 2008, she hosted TV One\'s Presidential Election and Inauguration coverage, as well as the memorial service of music legend Michael Jackson.

The sky is the limit for this multi-media powerhouse. She has continued to catapult her career into new avenues of entertainment. In 2005, Jacque created Jacque Reid Media, a one-stop media resource for television and film. That same year the company executive produced the BET Red Carpet Special premiere presentation of the Sony Pictures feature, The Gospel. Her current client roster includes The AR Bernard Show, a Christian television news magazine show; cable network TV One and nationally syndicated radio show, The Tom Joyner Morning Show.

Through all of her work, Jacque connects with viewers, listeners, and fans alike.
