There are talks that Mike Bloomberg is going to send Bloomberg media to a blind trust if he gets the DNC Nomination and The Presidency. Also there have been reports that Bloomberg Media has been compromised over how they cover the DNC Primaries because of its investor and leader. WBBR is affected by this issue given that its the radio O&O for Bloomberg media and the issue they brought up is conflicts of interest.

Bloomberg then grew the business to include a financial news arm, which has morphed into a major news wire service. The outlet has faced criticism for allowing its reporters to cover the campaign but blocking them from reporting in-depth investigations into Bloomberg or his Democratic rivals. Newsroom leaders didn’t impose similar restrictions on reporting regarding Trump.

Bloomberg has also faced renewed scrutiny over lawsuits filed by women at his company alleging discrimination or hostile treatment. Bloomberg has said he won’t release women from any nondisclosure agreements they’ve signed with the company.

Bloomberg entered the presidential race in November and has been steadily climbing in national polls, buoyed by $400 million in advertising. Worth an estimated $60 billion, he is entirely self-funding his campaign.

Has Bloomberg Radio been carrying many spots for Mike?
 
I only hear the Bloomberg Market Minutes twice an hour on WLW, and I don't know what spot committments are required from the network. I hear Bloomberg (the candidate) spots on the stream but I'm in a Super Tuesday state so that may be mine. I have heard a disclaimer when the Presidential race comes up that "our network's owner is running for the Democratic nomination for President" or something like that.
