Disney Channel remains a powerhouse in children’s media, largely thanks to Kanter’s work. The exec led Disney Junior to the No. 1 channel among Kids 2-7 for five years in a row, and during the past year launched “Muppet Babies” and “Fancy Nancy.” Upcoming Disney+ can expect a hefty share of content from Kanter, including “High School Musical: The Musical” series and Disney Junior series “The Rocketeer.” When she’s not immersed in kids programming, Kanter can be found watching anything on the Food Network (so long as it doesn’t have bacon in it!).
