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.”

Gary Morton, Republican Candidate for Sheriff of Frederick County 

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller was joined by Jonathan Savage of Fox News Radio for a look at one of the biggest international stories of the week.

The conversation began on a lighter note, with Savage celebrating his native Scotland's first victory in the World Cup, before turning to the developing agreement between the United States and Iran. He explained what concessions were made by both sides, what was gained during the negotiations, and why officials are stopping short of calling it a full peace deal.

Savage noted that the agreement is more of a 60-day framework designed to reduce tensions and create an opportunity for broader peace talks, with many of the toughest issues still needing to be resolved. He also discussed what could happen if the two sides fail to reach a longer-term agreement during that window.
