Long-running state politics television show NC Spin won't have its contract renewed. The public affairs show has aired for nearly 22 years. But that run appears to be almost over.

The show features founder and host Tom Campbell leading a discussion of state political issues with four panelists.  

Campbell tells The News & Observer of Raliegh that he learned in an email that NC Spin will end after its contract is up this year.

He told the newspaper he had heard the program was the subject of conversations among members of the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. That was after the show was critical of the board over its handling of higher education officials.

Kevin Fitzgerald, the interim executive director and general manager of UNC-TV, told the newspaper it was "a programing decision" not to renew the contract.
