So when’s Channel 2 going to announce their new hire?

UPDATE: It’s official. Former highly-rated WTN morning talk show host Steve Gill is being added to the News 2 lineup to cover the political scene:

(Nashville – July 13, 2006) News 2 WKRN today announced that Nashville attorney and radio talk host Steve Gill has signed with the station to serve as WKRN’s chief Political Analyst. Gill will provide commentary and reports for the station’s newscasts.

“We’re thrilled Steve is joining us,” said Mike Sechrist, President and General Manager of WKRN. His knowledge of politics and issues both locally and statewide is unmatched.”

“I am very excited about becoming a part of the WKRN team,” Gill said. “With the station’s video journalists expanding the boundaries of local news, their emphasis on the emerging blogosphere and the aggressive approach to telling the important stories that affect our communities, WKRN is poised to dramatically shake up the local news business.”

And definitely shake up the Politburo WKRN has been financing for the last year and a half. Tear down that wall, Mr. Gill.
