Steve Gill (born November 15, 1956[1]) is an American conservative talk radio host based in Nashville, Tennessee.
[1] 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 and again in 1996, being outspent each election by over $1 million.
Video was shown in which he noted the logistical and economic problems with a national minimum wage setting payments in both New York City and rural Tennessee, "Five dollars an hour goes a lot farther down here."
Starting January 1, 2010, Steve Gill's flagship station, WLAC, underwent a major lineup change to take advantage of the increasingly popular nationally syndicated shows of Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
The Steve Gill Show also aired live Monday–Friday on 87.7 fm/1210 am WMPS "The Point" in Memphis, WJZM 1400 am in Clarksville, and WHUB 1400 am in Cookeville.
He interviewed many Washington figures on his shows, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Other guests have included former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice, numerous Senators, Members of Congress, Governors and Cabinet officials.
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.
