This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025.
Later in the program, we revisit a report by the news department from Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate. More in today’s feature report.
Also coming up in the next half hour, WFHB News Anchors will be live in the studio pitching to you during our Spring Fund Drive.
Spring Fund Drive:
Welcome to the beginning of WFHB’s Spring Fund Drive! Our daily, award-winning news program, WFHB Local News, is your source for staying informed about our community. Each day, our committed volunteers, who are also local residents and students, work tirelessly to cover local government, explore in-depth news features on community issues, and provide you with the latest updates.
Community radio is a rare treasure, and stations with news departments like ours are even rarer. We take immense pride in preserving WFHB’s long-established tradition of a vibrant news and public affairs department. However, to sustain WFHB’s numerous vital local news and public affairs programs, we need your help.
You are the heartbeat of the community radio movement, and your pledge today can help us keep it thriving. Our goal for today’s broadcast is to secure $200 in support of our Spring Fund Drive. Your contribution can make a significant impact. Simply dial 812-323-1200 and make a pledge as soon as possible. Once again, that’s 812-323-1200. Alternatively, you can visit our website at wfhb.org and click on the big red donate button to pledge your invaluable support.
Thank you for being a loyal listener and for generously supporting WFHB, your community radio station. Together, we can ensure our community stays connected and well-informed.
Feature Report:
Up next, we look back at a Deep Dive episode from last year reporting on food insecurity in Monroe and Brown Counties. This story was nominated for an award in the Society of Professional Journalists’ Best in Indiana competition. We turn to Kade Young and Noelle Herhusky-Schneider for more.
Now it’s time for Better Beware – your weekly consumer-watchdog segment on the WFHB Local News.
