AP has the story. When does he announce his senate run?

UPDATE: Several staffers in the Minnesota Senate say Franken has called their bosses over the past few days to discuss "his future."

Air America to be sold; Franken leaving

NEW YORK (AP) - Big changes are coming at Air America Radio, including the departure of its biggest star, Al Franken.
The liberal talk radio network has been in bankruptcy since last fall. Now it's being sold to a real estate company, pending approval of a bankruptcy court. The S-L Green Realty Corporation is run by the brother of New York City politician Mark Green, who's a frequent Air America guest.
As for Franken, his last show will be February 14th. There's no official word on why the one-time "Saturday Night Live" star is leaving. But Franken told The Associated Press earlier this month he was looking into a possible Senate run.
