This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, April 8th, 2026.

In today’s newscast, WFHB Correspondent Shane Gebhard will be live in the studio with News Director Kade Young in light of Day One of our spring fund drive.

Local voices share their most important goals. As WFHB launches the Spring Fund Drive calling on YOU to help us reach a crucial donation goal, we hit the streets to find out what YOU are trying to get done. That’s later in the show in a feature report.

Featured Segments:

On March 28th, millions of people across the country gathered for the No Kings protest, a coordinated day of demonstrations pushing back against concentrated political power. In today’s feature report, Correspondents Shane Gebhard and Emma Maher interviewed attendees and speakers from the No Kings rally on Saturday. That’s coming up next on the WFHB Local News.

It’s good to have goals, right? Life is full of distractions. Let’s stay focused. As WFHB launches the Spring Fund Drive calling on YOU to help us reach a crucial donation goal, our news crew dispatched dozens of reporters to canvass downtown Bloomington and the IU campus to talk about YOUR goals. Let’s hear what your friends and neighbors are trying to get done, in a feature segment produced by the Audio Storytelling class in The Media School at Indiana University.

Now it’s time for Better Beware – your weekly consumer-watchdog segment on the WFHB Local News. We turn to host and producer Richard Fish for more.
