About Frank

A LIFETIME
BEHIND THE MIC.
Still looking forward.

Broadcaster. Speaker. Coach. Communicator.

Connecting with people.
Then, now, and next.

Frank Reed has spent a lifetime behind the microphone, connecting with audiences, influencing conversations, and helping people see things from a different perspective. Now, he’s bringing that experience to a new generation of audiences through speaking, coaching, and storytelling.

An award-winning broadcast veteran, Frank built his career in two worlds: mainstream radio and contemporary Christian broadcasting. At WNBC in New York, he became one of America’s most listened-to afternoon radio personalities. He subsequently spent 33 years at KLTY in Dallas, helping build the station into one of the nation’s leading commercial Christian radio stations.

During his tenure at KLTY, Frank served in multiple leadership and on-air roles, including afternoon personality, operations manager, program director, and morning show host. The station earned eight NAB Marconi Awards during that era, and Frank played a significant role in its success.

More than a career. A life of lessons.

His personal journey into Christian faith while working in the mainstream radio world gave him a perspective that continues to shape his life and work. Through decades of professional success, personal challenges, relationships, and lessons learned along the way, Frank has developed a deep appreciation for the importance of purpose, resilience, forgiveness, and continued growth.

Today, Frank brings those experiences to audiences in the business world, churches, Christian colleges, men’s groups, and community organizations. His presentations draw on the realities of a long career in a competitive industry, offering practical insights into communication, leadership, optimum performance, and the ongoing pursuit of personal and professional potential.

For Christian audiences, Frank also shares the faith journey and life experiences that have shaped his understanding of grace, purpose, and the power of second chances.

“Reaching your potential isn’t a destination. It’s a continuing journey.”Frank’s guiding philosophy

There is always another lesson to learn, another challenge to embrace, and another opportunity to make a difference. After a distinguished broadcasting career, Frank Reed is still doing what he’s always done best: communicating, encouraging, and inspiring people to move forward.
