Thursday’s development does not mean Barreiro is leaving his employer of the past 15 years. The scuttlebutt is that KFAN has an opportunity to match any offer made by a competitor. Another factor could be the issue of a noncompete clause, something standard in radio and television contracts. Those usually run six months or one year, meaning Barreiro might have to go on hiatus if he does switch.<\/p>\n

As I noted<\/a> in an earlier comment (in which Flash<\/a> brought the story to my attention), it’d be an interesting move for the Evil Talk Empire.\u00a0 They desperately <\/em>need a morning show that doesn’t come with a warning not to operate around heavy equipment; and while I love my old friend and neighbor Tom Mischke’s “Broadcast” (one of the tiny list of things on which I agree with Garrison Keillor), Soucheray could use a little stronger lead-in and KSTP could stand a stronger counterprogram to Limbaugh (although, as always, I hope Mischke’s program survives and thrives).<\/p>\n

It’ll be an interesting couple of months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
