Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was interviewed by nationally syndicated country radio host Blair Garner last week, but the segment will not air on the station.
Garner’s employer, Cumulus Media, opted to squash the interview as a result of the Federal Communications Commission’s Equal Time Rule, which specifies that any network that gives air time to a political candidate must give the same amount to any opposing candidate who requests it.
