She is particularly sought-after for her experience:

• Drafting, reviewing, analyzing and negotiating entertainment-related contracts

Kyle previously served as vice president of business and legal affairs for USA Cable Entertainment, where she assisted in the formulation of division and departmental policies and procedures and handled the business and legal affairs for all scripted pilots and series produced for initial exhibition on USA Network and Syfy. She also negotiated and drafted series staff, talent, development, acquisition and distribution agreements and researched and reconciled union violations.
