WFHB Local News – January 7th, 2026
This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, January 7th, 2026.
In today’s newscast, we’re revisiting several WFHB feature reports from late 2025 – examining political change, development in Bloomington, and the people and stories shaping life in our community. That’s coming up in today’s year-in-review edition of the local news.
Featured Segments:

A new generation of voters is reshaping America’s political landscape, and their growing embrace of democratic socialism is beginning to show up at the ballot box. Earlier this month, New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made headlines as one of the most prominent democratic socialists to win office. WFHB News Correspondent Camdyn Glover spoke with young political leaders in Bloomington on both the left and the right to understand what’s driving this shift and whether the movement is here to stay. That report from November 2025 is coming up next on the local news: year in review.In today’s feature report, WFHB News Correspondents Olivia Evans and Katrine Bruner speak with local residents and hotel management about a new boutique hotel that has raised opinions on the modernization of Bloomington. That report from November 2025 is coming up next on the WFHB Local News.
All is not lost. Sure, there’s a lot of heavy stuff going on around the world and right here in our own backyard. But even with so many things to worry about, people in our community still find a way to hold on to hope. WFHB dispatched dozens of reporters to canvass downtown Bloomington and the IU campus to find out what lifts you up. This report was a collaboration between WFHB and the Media School at Indiana University.
IU Football has had a historic season to say the least. But beyond the action on the field, there’s a dedicated team working behind the scenes to support the players’ success. In today’s feature report, WFHB Sports Correspondent Chase Dodson talks with Grant Long, the quarterback manager for the IU Football team. That interview, recorded on October 8th, is coming up next on WFHB.
