A half-hour program featuring Republican congressional hopeful Kris Kobach won't be televised this Sunday because of concerns about fairness.

Kobach was scheduled to appear in a taped interview with the Rev. Jerry Johnston, pastor of First Family Church in Overland Park, at 7:30 a.m. on KMCI-TV and 10 a.m. on KSHB-TV. Another broadcast scheduled for 10:30 p.m. on PAX TV also was canceled.

The general managers for the three stations said the political nature of the broadcast would have required the station to provide equal time to Kobach's Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore.
