The Morning News Express is your weekday wake-up call from 6–9am, led by the one and only Morning Mayor, Bob Miller. You know the voice. The laugh. The stories. The legend. It’s the reason Frederick gets up and gets informed.

Bob’s been the king of morning talk in Frederick for 30+ years, holding down the WFMD fort for 27 of them. A proud Frederick County native, his roots run deep—son of the legendary local vet Doc Miller, raised on a 180-acre beef farm, and yes, he really did show cattle across the country. (Moo included.)

His resume is impressive, his humor even better. Senior class president and class clown at Walkersville High (Class of 1980), Bob also helped launch the school’s first-ever football team—the gritty “Mean 19.”

Off the mic, Bob’s a proud husband to Lynda (30+ years strong), a dad to Erin and Bryan, and a super-proud granddad to little Kaelyn.

Bob’s known radio was his calling forever, with stops at major stations in Baltimore and D.C. But Frederick is home, and every morning he brings his voice, wit, and community-first perspective to Free Talk 930 WFMD. He’s joined by great local guests all week to cover what’s happening in and around Frederick County, plus national reporters from Fox News Radio to break down what’s happening across the country.

As Bob’s mom says: “At least now I can finally turn him off.”

⚖️ ICYMI: Nicolee Ambrose Joins Bob Miller to Discuss Maryland’s Redistricting Fight on the Morning News Express

This morning, Bob Miller welcomed Nicolee Ambrose, Maryland’s Republican National Committeewoman, to the Morning News Express to discuss the ongoing legal fight over redistricting in Maryland.

Ambrose outlined the arguments behind a lawsuit challenging the process, saying the issue goes beyond political maps and centers on constitutional protections and the rights of Maryland voters.

According to Ambrose, the lawsuit argues that Maryland’s Declaration of Rights protects all Marylanders, regardless of which political party holds the majority, and points to a 2022 ruling from a former state Supreme Court justice that found extreme partisan gerrymandering violated those protections.

Ambrose also argues that the proposed ballot question fails to tell voters that those protections are at stake and that required procedures were not properly followed. She says the lawsuit is ultimately about ensuring Maryland voters receive the constitutional process and protections to which they are entitled.
