Townsquare Media's WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton, NJ on-air host Bill Spadea has decided to pursue a candidacy for Governor of New Jersey. Until he becomes a legally qualified candidate, Spadea will continue to fulfill his employment responsibilities entertaining and informing the local audience on NJ 101.5 airwaves and digital platforms, as he has done for the last nine years.
However, Townsquare says it's sensitive to the legal parameters attendant keeping a broadcast personality on-air while they are seeking public office. Accordingly, the company has taken steps and imposed guidelines to ensure that his on-air presence over the coming months and until he becomes a legally qualified candidate, are in accordance with New Jersey election law, applicable FCC guidance and industry standards and best practices for such circumstances.
As a company, Townsquare says it is and will remain neutral with respect to a Spadea candidacy and does not endorse any political candidates or parties. At the same time, Townsquare will continue to uphold the values of integrity and community involvement personified by our team members.
