"KYTV refuses to show political ad" (Randall Terry's Anti-Abortion Ad During Superbowl)

[The Genealogist]

On the eve of Missouri’s presidential primary, a Democratic candidate accused KYTV of breaking federal law by not airing a political advertisement depicting aborted fetuses during the Super Bowl.

Randall Terry, an anti-abortion activist from West Virginia, is challenging President Obama for the party’s nomination. Terry purchased air time on several NBC affiliates in the state.

At least two stations, including KYTV, refused to show the spot.

Note: KYTV is the NBC affiliate in Springfield, Missouri, my local NBC affiliate.

2. Did it air anywhere?

I didn't see it in NY, but I didn't see every commercial.

3. The article says in Missouri that at least two stations didn't air it

KYTV in Springfield, and KOMU in Columbia. I don't know if it aired in KC, St Louis or Joplin, the other TV markets in Missouri. Not sure at all about other states. Wikipedia lists the NBC affiliates,
