New gig for Mary Beth Harrell

Via Eye on Williamson comes the news that Mary Beth Harrell, who ran against Rep. John Carter in CD31 last year, has a new gig:


KNCT-TV, the local public broadcasting station located on the campus of Central Texas College, recently announced the addition of a new show to premiere this summer. "Insight," hosted by local attorney Mary Beth Harrell, will premiere Thursday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m. on KNCT (channel four on the local cable system or channel 46 for non-cable subscribers). A re-broadcast will air the following Sunday at 10 a.m.

"Insight" is a half-hour roundtable discussion featuring prominent, successful women who help shape the issues affecting Central Texas. These leaders come from numerous sectors of the community including education, healthcare, banking, economic development, city management, the courtroom, charitable giving and the news media. "The guests on 'Insight' understand the challenges confronting us today in many areas of our everyday lives," said Harrell. "They will not only identify these challenges but also talk about their plans and goals to meet those challenges now and in the future."

Some of Harrell's guests on "Insight" will be Ann Harder, Channel 25 news anchor; Martha Tyrock, Temple city councilwoman; Judge Diane Henson, Judge Martha Trudo, Colonel Diane Sutton and Colonel Victoria Bruzese of Fort Hood; Reverend Mary Wilson, Dr. Rose Cameron, Diane Connell, Colleen Beck and Brenda Coley.

One segment of the show will feature Harrell on location at area restaurants seeking public opinions from Central Texans on an array of topics. "We want to bring our community into the studio so our guests can hear the opinions and concerns of its citizens," noted Harrell. "We hope the viewers, as well as our guests, find the exchange enlightening and entertaining."

Following its July 12 premiere, "Insight" can be seen Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and once monthly on Sunday at 10 a.m.


Great to hear. Mary Beth ran a fine campaign on limited funds against Carter, and she's just an awesome person overall. Congrats, Mary Beth!

This will be a great show and I'm thrilled that MB is staying active. We need her in office somehow!
