&nbsp;Frederick County Fire Chief Tom Coe joins Bob Miller and Chris Michaels to discuss the decision to closure the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg.&nbsp;

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.”

On the Morning News Express, Bob Miller welcomed Jeff Monosso of Fox News Radio to break down a developing story out of Ohio, where residents are pushing for a 2026 constitutional amendment to ban new large data centers.

The proposal targets facilities using more than 25 megawatts of power, with supporters citing concerns over energy use, water consumption, and land impact. Jeff explained that organizers now have 90 days to gather signatures to get the measure on the November ballot, and why this issue is gaining traction — not just in Ohio, but in communities across the country.
