Super Bowl Update

St. Louis CBS affiliate KMOV 4 has hired a new anchor, and as the Post-Dispatch's Joe Holleman reports this afternoon, she's not afraid to let it all hang out.

Sharon Reed, who will co-anchor KMOV's 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts, comes to St. Louis from Cleveland, where she worked for nearly a decade at WOIO-TV.  She's also worked in cities such as Philadelphia, Miami and Baltimore, building up an impressive resume.

So, what's this business about "letting it all hang out?"

Back in 2004, Reed reported on artist Spencer Tunick's nude photo shoot in Cleveland, and in the course of her report, Reed became part of the project.  The report got Reed national attention, and it did wonders for WOIO-TV's ratings (no surprise there).

KMOV management is happy to have Reed on board. In a press release, station news director Sean McLaughlin said, "Sharon is an excellent communicator and brings a lot of experience to the table. Her ability to connect with the audience and her passion for investigative journalism make her a great addition to the News 4 team."
