I shot a segment and used 2 separate mic's (channel 1 and channel 2) and was wondering if there was any way to blend them in premiere so that announcer "a" isn't only coming in only on the left channel and announcer "b" coming in only on the right channel? I can play in the 5.1 mode and bring one or the other to a center channel mode, however the other is still only limited to one channel. Any help would be appreciated. Apparently I dindn't comprehend the manual when using 2 independent (that's right, two separate units)wireless mic's for a commentary. I'd hate to have to re-shoot. Also, if anyone could tell me how I should have ran the setup to get correct audio, I would appreciate it.

There is probably a number of ways to do this but heres one of them.
Duplicate your audio track and put it on a new layer (in synch with the other one).
Use the FIll Left filter on one track.
Use the Fill Right filter on the other.
- You now have a separate audio track of each announcer in both Left and Right Channels and you can mix their levels independently.

1096, you shot correctly. What you did is exactly what I do on every 2 mic shoot.
Just follow what Shooter said and you'll be good to go.

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it. If I want to reduce the editing step(2nd audio track edits) next time I shoot, should I just run a "y" adaptor for both wireless mic's and go through the channel 2 input or does this affect the audio quality if you blend everything together?

Using a "...y adaptor" is not a good solution for a summation (mixing of more than one signal) application.
A Y adapter is fine for sending one source to multiple loads, but not the other way around.
If you try to combine sources, you can end up getting distortion and you may limit the dynamic range. In the worse case scenario, you could damage one or both sources (wireless receivers in your case). If you really want to try a passive approach, then you will need to insert series resistors on each input leg (1k Ohm is fine for most solid-state applications).
