Pawlenty radio show to return to air:
Gov. Tim Pawlenty will resume his weekly radio show on WCCO-AM this Friday.
Pawlenty halted the show, "Good Morning, Minnesota," in June after announcing his reelection bid. Political opponents objected to the free air time he was getting.
WCCO (830 AM), which had run the show from February 2003 until it was suspended, beat out two other stations -- KTLK (100.3 FM), which airs talk shows and Minnesota Vikings games, and WWTC (1280 AM), the Patriot.
What? Nothing more needs to be said about the Patriot? Don't they air talk shows too?
The new contract runs for two years with an option for two additional years. The station won the contract, which does not involve monetary value for the state, after meeting several criteria, including reaching a large and broad-based statewide audience, said Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung.
Sure, go with the 50,000 watt "good neighbor" if you must T-Paw. As for me and mine, we prefer the selective appeal of AM1280.
