WJLA's new hire from Massachusetts -- Gail Huff -- is politically well connected

Gail Huff has been hired by WJLA, Washington's ABC station, as a part-time special project reporter. You may know her as Mrs. Scott Brown, wife of the new Republican senator from Massachusetts. The station says Huff will do medical, consumer and investigative stories -- but will steer clear of politics.*

Huff, who has been working at WCVB-TV in Boston for the past 17 years, will start at Channel 7 after Labor Day, according to the news release WJLA is going to put out Tuesday, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post.

She signed a two-year contract with the station -- which dovetails with the shortened term her husband won in the Massachusetts special election. Her deal was arranged by Bob Barnett, the local lawyer and talent maven who also brokered WJLA's hiring of weatherman Bob Ryan, who was an institution at WRC, Washington's NBC station.

WJLA is owned by Albritton Communications, which, in addition to owning a number of TV stations around the country, owns the newspaper and Web site Politico

*Because we all know there's never anything political connected to things like medicine and consumer issues. :sarcasm:

1. Wow! Is that Gail Huff in that video?

I would never have recognized her. And in the years I've seen her on the news, she never struck me as a rock'n'roll girl at all. I remember that song from back then, though I don't know if I ever saw the video. Funny thing, I heard the song again quite recently on FreeformBCN.

a face-lift means you pull the skin UP, not DOWN.
