Governor to suspend call-in shows during election season

With Governor Beebe preparing to file for re-election, both his radio and television call-in shows will stop airing until after the general election. "Ask the Governor" on the Arkansas Radio Network, and "Arkansans Ask: Governor Mike Beebe" on the Arkansas Educational Television Network have both halted production during previous elections to avoid giving any perceived advantage to a sitting governor. "Ask the Governor" is expected to return on Friday, November 5. Future dates for "Arkansans Ask: Governor Mike Beebe" will be announced as they are set.
