Tom Emmer's decision to run for Congress means putting his
radio career on hold. The conservative talker's last day on KTCN 1130 AM’s "Davis & Emmer" morning show
will be Friday.
According to the Star Tribune's Rachel Stassen-Berger, Emmer
said it's better to leave the program and campaign full-time sooner rather than
later.
Emmer doesn't have much of a choice. If he remained on the
radio after he legally becomes a candidate by filing papers with the Federal
Election Commission, his opponents would have to be granted equal time.
So why did Emmer get two full days on the radio to talk
largely about his campaign after he announced his intention to run on
Wednesday?
Gregg Swedberg, operations manager for Twin Cities' Clear
Channel, which owns the station, said he doesn't believe there is a problem
because the campaign has really not started.
