Bill-Spadea,2025-Nj-Governor-Race

NJ 101.5 wants to keep Bill Spadea on the air even though he already launched his campaign.

will not be forced to give up his morning talk show on New Jersey’s largest radio station, at least not yet, while he. But the state’s election watchdog agency said it will keep a close watch on what is said on the program.

The day he announced his campaign, Townsquare Media, the company that owns 101.5, said Spadea would remain on air “until he becomes a legally qualified candidate.” That, attorneys for the company said this week, is when Spadea files nominating petitions to run in next year’s primary. The deadline for that is usually late March or early April, meaning it would permit him to host his show for more than half a year.

In addition, the campaign could be held liable if ELEC determined the radio exposure was a campaign contribution that exceeded the state’s donation limits. “I’m not going to deny Bill Spadea being on the air to some people helps his campaign,” Spies said. “I get that it could help. But there’s a bright line between his expressly advocating for his campaign or against opponents and his talking about issues.”
