I hate to say so, but it appears that this is not an April Fools’ joke. Or at least, it doesn’t involve April, as KELOland is putting former Sioux Falls mayor Mike Huether on the air:
KELOLAND On the Road will premiere April 2, 2019 at 6:30 pm CT on KELOLAND TV. In the same spirit as the popular CBS On the Road franchise, KELOLAND On the Road will feature inspirational and interesting stories from across KELOLAND. Former Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether will host the program.
“Every town has unique stories of life that motivate, inspire, and make folks feel good. I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with KELOLAND to bring them to light,” said Huether. “Watch “On the Road” one time, and you will be hooked!”
They’re bumping Entertainment Tonight for the Mike Huether show? And when Huether claims you will be hooked, does he mean like this:
Hooked by Huether… as in, impaled, in agony, bleeding, and you’ll face a painful extraction with pliers.
It’s a monthly show, so ET fans will still get their fix almost every evening.
Assuming the show is successful, this is a smart way for a man who has reportedly held longtime ambitions to be governor to become better known to a statewide audience. It’s strategery, folks!
I will be curious to see how many people have time to waste watching this show. I hope it tanks; we don’t need Huether trying to push his ego-driven views to the entire state-we had enough in Sioux Falls. He just needs to move to California or another one of those left-wing places; he would fit right in.
strategery is great as long as it doesn’t lead to a mandate. not that there’s anything wrong with that.
This tells me Mr. Huether wants to run for something again soon and wants to get his name back out there again.
Do what, spend millions of dollars on buildings and image?
Max out the credit card and leave the next administration to deal with all the deferred street maintenance and infrastructure?
Have the most closed government in recent history?
Pick fights with many business leaders?
Pick winners and losers based on no set of standards anyone can follow?
He was one of the worst mayors I can remember.
Entertainment Tonight is a waste of time, but this will be just as great a waste of time. I wouldn’t listen to Mikey blather on about anything.
Hey, Mike! Just stay out of the limelight; you aren’t wanted!
Sen Mike Huether (SD-R)
Sorry, he’s been a life long democrat. Nice try
You mean he is going to change his political affiliation again because of what the voters want? When he switched from Dem to Indy, that told me that he doesn’t have any core beliefs and is just a leaf in the wind.
This won’t last three months. Dexter is way smarter than the CEO’s.
As a former employee, I can unquestionably agree with that statement.
I let KELO know there is no way I’d pay to advertise on his show. So glad he’s gone.
I am going to reserve judgement on the show until I see it.
I find the timing interesting. We are coming up on the May Nielsen Sweeps. It makes sense to have the premier when everyone is tuning in to watch their favorite show season finale. We’ll see if this is a show worthy of production or a crash and burn.
It’s nice of KELO to help Mike run for statewide office. That’s what this is. It’s an I kind contribution to Mike’s future bid at statewide office. Mike knows it. KELLI knows it. For legal reasons it won’t be acknowledged as such, but that’s what it is.
Agreed. KELO has become political.
I’d guess Heuther is laying the foundation to run against Rounds.
