From Cowgill:
If it hasn’t already, that practice will have to stop, unless Miles wants to allow his school-board opponent, Jennifer Weigel, three hours per day under the FCC’s equal-time rule.
Here are the facts as AGREED TO by The Salisbury Democratic Committee (as allowed by FCC rules)…..
I, Marshall Miles, running as an independent petitioning candidate for the Salisbury Region One Board Of Education seat against the Democratic Candidate do hereby agree to the following restrictions regarding on-air comments and commentary in-between September 1 2013 and November 5 2013:
1) I agree NOT to editorialize on any Region 1 issue in that time frame
2) I agree NOT to let any comments from telephone callers on-air WHDD on any Region 1 issue during this time frame.
3) I agree not to promote any appearances I might have regarding campaigning for the Region One Board seat on-air during this time frame.
4) I agree to announce any information the Salisbury Democratic Town Committee presents me regarding their candidate for Region One Board Of Education ( meet and greets, press releases, etc.)
5) I agree that if and when any guests, or telephone callers to WHDD on the Breakfast Club start to talk about Region One issues in this time frame, I will inform them that I can not comment due to my agreement with the Salisbury Democratic Town Committee, and that I can not take their call on-air.
