USATODAY.com - TV station refuses to air anti-war ad days before Bush visit:
The ad began airing on other area stations Saturday, two days before Bush was scheduled to speak in Salt Lake City to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
However, a national sales representative for KTVX, a local ABC affiliate, rejected the ad in an e-mail to media buyers, writing that it was an 'inappropriate commercial advertisement for Salt Lake City.'
