A friend of mine is the general manager at that station. I'll ask him what's up.
EDIT: Dave sez, " Yeh, this guy has been a pain in the ass. See attached press release."
PRESS RELEASE

It’s been a controversy that Entercom Kansas City never wanted to be involved with, but now we’re making sure that the groups who were targeted are going to benefit.
Glenn Miller recently bought commercial time on two of our stations, NewsRadio 980 KMBZ and WDAF "106.5 The Wolf" in connection with his write-in candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Missouri. His commercials were filled with racially biased and anti-semitic claims. Even though we object to the content of these commercials, the law provides that a legally qualified candidate for federal office has a right to purchase uncensored broadcast air time.
Entercom Kansas-City Vice President Dave Alpert said "While Federal Law requires us to air the commercials, we are not comfortable keeping the money."
Today, Entercom Kansas City has announced that all of the money paid by Glenn Miller to run his advertisements on our stations , has been donated to the Olathe Chapter of the NAACP and a local Jewish Charity in Greater Kansas City.
Entercom has also stated that if we are required to run additional commercials from Glenn Miller any money received in the future will be similarly donated.
