Bill Bunkley opens this Friday show with major breaking news: The Hillsborough County Commission has voted 5-2 to approve the revised $2.3 billion deal bringing the Tampa Bay Rays to a new stadium complex in Tampa near Raymond James Stadium and Steinbrenner Field. Combined with the previous day’s City Council approval, the Rays now have their forever home in Tampa after decades of effort. Bill shares personal Tampa history, economic development benefits, and long-term visions for transportation and urban renewal in Drew Park.

Gary Schneeberger (Focus on the Family) joins to discuss the organization’s leadership transition process and the search for the next president, emphasizing prayer and building for the future.

Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) returns with a heartfelt tribute to the late Dolly Parton (a past Movie Guide Award winner), plus reviews of The Magic Faraway Tree, Cocomelon: The Melon Patch, Much Ado About Love, and a warning about occult themes in Disney content. He also notes a current matching grant for donations.
