Join Bill on this special Thanksgiving Eve broadcast as he kicks things off with a look at the increased undercover police presence hitting the streets to keep everyone safe through the holiday weekend. From there, he takes a heartfelt pause to talk about what it really means to give thanks in 2025—when headlines are heavy and gratitude can feel harder than ever to find. Of course, no Thanksgiving show would be complete without the lighter side: the heartwarming (and slightly ridiculous) story of the two National Thanksgiving Turkeys who just received their official presidential pardons at the White House. Shifting to the somber, Bill brings the latest developments out of Israel as another alleged hostage body is reported returned by Hamas—with forensic confirmation and more details expected in the coming days. Then lighten the mood again with a deep dive into the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: its surprising origins in the 1920s, the evolution of those massive balloons, and little-known behind-the-scenes traditions that have kept it a holiday staple for generations. All that, plus your full roundup of local stories making waves in the community and the biggest world news headlines you need to know before you sit down to tomorrow’s feast.
