KING tells the dramatic story of how Dorothy Bullitt built a great company, King Broadcasting, and used it to influence the largest city of the Pacific Northwest. Starting in 1951 with a clumsy 15-minute news program, KING-TV soon added passionately committed journalists and gave them extraordinary freedom. KING's journalists attacked Seattle's powerful politicians, prodded its inept public agencies, and chided its provincial attitudes, winning a host of national awards in the process.
