WCCO Radio will become an ABC News affiliate for the first time Thursday afternoon, an historic shift for the station after the closure of CBS Radio News. "You will not miss a beat in terms of coverage of things," says WCCO's Brand Manager Brad Lane.

So nice of everyone who reached out: WCCO Radio is owned by Audacy, we are not shutting down. CBS Radio's Hourly News Updates will end in a couple months. Not sure what that means- will we find another provider like Fox or ABC Radio? Will we fold national news into our local updates? TBD.
A memo from CBS on Friday announced that they're ending CBS News Radio, ending a service that aired on approximately 700 affiliated stations around the U.S. That includes stations like WCCO Radio, which has been affiliated with CBS for nearly a century.

From new school safety drills to lawn signs asking residents to vote "YES," there's plenty to consider with the school year in full swing. Not to mention a statewide teacher shortage. Laura Oakes takes "A Closer Look" at teachers on the front lines.

We know it well: A big name restaurant closes in the same breath a snazzy new place opens.
In this month's "A Closer Look with @LauraWCCO," she dives into a challenging industry - restaurants - that is REALLY good at keeping us guessing.

How did you feel the last time you temporarily misplaced your phone? Panic comes to mind for many as these devices have become so integral to us.
In this month's "A Closer Look" with @LauraWCCO, she explores our connection - good and bad - to our device.

The Dem Govs all coordinating to dress up as Tim Walz for Halloween is the greatest thing ever.

It's not enough to be one of the world's biggest pop stars. You might as well foster a dog while you're at it. That's what @Pink did before Thursday's show in St. Paul. She plans to take Graham, an Aussie mix, on tour and help him find a forever home.

You might say it's a calling for a very brave few. And that's especially true for women who take on the career of firefighter. @LauraWCCO goes through the process, the ups and downs, and goes behind the scenes with women members of the @StPaulFireDept.

Anticipation builds. Less than a week away from Jefferson taking the field, a month away from Wolves camp. Let’s go.
