Of course it’s all in fun, and is likely to win, but look who nominated himself for People magazine’s “Sexiest Anchor Alive” contest: KMGH’s Eric Kahnert.

Okay, now my webteam is getting in on this madness .. apparently they think I have a shot … if you concur … and want to see me in People Magazine … you have to send-out a tweet with this: @peoplemag @erickahnert #SexiestAnchorAlive
Odd way to introduce oneself to the No. 17 market as the newest lead anchor at the station known for serious journalistic content.
By Wednesday, adding to the list of male anchors.
Is this the new direction 7News will take, once a general manager and news director are named? The station that has built a national reputation on investigative journalism and major awards, including the Peabody and the DuPont/Columbia, hasn’t done this sort of stunt before. We’ll see.
