Steve Gill

Steve Gill is a conservative radio talk show host in Nashville, Tennessee. He is currently serving as a political commentator on Nashville television station WKRN, and his radio show, "The Steve Gill Show," is broadcast on stations across the state.

Previously, Gill was the morning host on 99.7 FM WWTN, leaving the air on June 30, 2006. On July 31, 2006, Nashville radio station WLAC 1510 AM announced Gill's return to the station, with a program to air Saturday mornings on WLAC and a number of other stations in the state of Tennessee starting August 12, 2006. WLAC also announced plans to begin airing a weekday morning show hosted by Gill on October 2, 2006. ("See NewsRadio 1510 WLAC, " [http://www.wlac.com/cc-common/mainheadlines2.html?feed=119011&article=612160 Radio Host, Steve Gill, to Return to WLAC] " and " [http://www.gillreport.com/dn-m7_y2006 Steve Gill Returns to NewsRadio 1510 WLAC] ", Gill Report, July 31, 2006.)" Gill began his talk radio career on WLAC.

He has interviewed many Washington figures on his shows, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

His book about the potential presidential campaign of Fred Thompson, "The Fred Factor: How Fred Thompson May Change the Face of the '08 Election" (ISBN 0976873710) was released on May 25, 2007.

Education and personal life

Gill attended the University of Tennessee, where he received an undergraduate degree in history and a law degree. He played varsity basketball while in college, and was a member of the 1977 Tennessee team that won the Southeastern Conference championship. As a student, he was also president of the student body, president of Omicron Delta Kappa, and student member of the university board of trustees.

Gill was an adjunct faculty member at Belmont University from 1991 to 2004, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in international business, business law and negotiations.

He and his wife, Kathy, live in Brentwood, Tennessee with their two sons.

Political career

In 1992 Gill was appointed to a White House Fellowship by President George Bush. During his fellowship year he served as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs for the U.S. Trade Representative in the Executive Office of the President under both the Bush and Clinton Administrations.

In 1994 and 1996 Gill was the Republican nominee against longtime Sixth District U.S. Representative Bart Gordon, barely losing in 1994 but more roundly defeated in 1996.

In 2000 and 2001 Gill was instrumental in leading an effective protest against a state income tax. At his urging, anti-tax protesters deluged legislators with phone calls and e-mails, and circled the state capitol building in cars and trucks, continually honking their horns. Americans for Tax Reform recognized Gill with a "Hero of the Taxpayers" award for these actions. However, there also was criticism for the tactics used, which resulted in broken windows and other damage at the capitol, required state police to barricade and patrol the capitol to protect legislators, and led to several legislators being taken from the capitol building by ambulance to be hospitalized for cardiac problems.
