I just got this release saying Ron Paul has hit the airwaves in Minnesota.
I'm still trying to figure out the ad buy, etc.
Update: No Ron Paul ad buy at KSTP-TV or WCCO-TV (No Hillary or John Edwards buys either).
Update to the Update: Remember that this is only a sample of the buy since I can't hit every radio/tv station. This is by no means the entire sample/buy.

Paul did buy ads at KSTP-AM and FM 107. A total of 79 spots at a cost of $4310.
Here's the release:
"Ron Paul is the only Republican committed to win Minnesota"
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - Republican Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul begins to run television and radio ads in Minnesota today. The ads will run focusing on the economy and Ron Paul's unmatched Republican record.
"Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate committed to win Minnesota," says Ron Paul Minnesota State Coordinator, Marianne Stebbins. "The other candidates are not interested in Minnesota as demonstrated by their lack of organization, time, and money spent in the state."
Ron Paul is the only Republican with a Minnesota office. Minnesota is a target state for the Ron Paul Campaign. With eight days until the February 5 Republican caucus, Minnesotans can expect more from the Ron Paul campaign.
"We have the numbers and organization statewide to compete in Minnesota," says Stebbins. "We plan on surprising many people on February 5."
