The broadcast opens with a brief promotional segment for the Woodward Podcast Network and Mosquito Squad before anchor Landon Moore delivers the morning news at 5:04 AM with a temperature of 40 degrees. The first story covers Valley Transit's new transportation development plan, developed with SRF Consulting Group. The plan proposes adjusting Route 15 to serve a Woodmans location on Appleton's west side and extending Route 20 in Kaukauna to reach a new Piggly Wiggly grocery store. The plan also calls for restoring weeknight and Saturday service hours cut during a driver shortage. General Manager Ron McDonald notes the scheduling complexity involved in restoring hours given fill-in staffing and peak service demands. The second story covers Appleton's parking system rebranding initiative, in which the downtown parking utility is adopting the name Park Appleton with new orange-P signage to be installed this summer. Parking Manager Hilary Patterman describes the goal as clearer, more action-oriented communication for residents and visitors. The third item is a brief report on a two-car crash at Wisconsin Avenue and Meade Street in Appleton, in which one vehicle rolled over into a business parking lot and both drivers were taken to the hospital. The fourth story covers the Bondelac School District's second consecutive failed referendum, in which voters rejected a $7.5 million annual funding request by 203 votes. Superintendent Matt Steinbar reports that the district already cut 70 staff last year, will cut 30 more this year, and plans to close two schools in 2027-28. He warns that programs in trades, music, and sports will continue to be reduced. The final story features a reaction from Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany to liberal candidate Chris Taylor's 60-percent win in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday, in which Tiffany acknowledges a decisive loss and says conservative voter turnout will be essential for November.
