It’s a bittersweet FRIYAY 🥺 because it’s @Charmaynelive’s last day here at @WFXRnews. It’s really hard to put into words what she means to me, our newsroom, and the community. I’m so honored to have shared the anchor desk with her the last 2.5 years.

[Amanda Kenney @Amanda_Comms]

Hi, it’s me. I’m the problem it’s me.

I’m at a loss for words 😳😢

The magnitude of what could have happened yesterday didn’t quite hit me until I saw our surveillance video. It’s chilling to watch. The bullistic glass held up, preventing it from shattering. A lot of us here still processing what happened. Glad no one was hurt @FOX13Memphis 💛

Too cute to not be adopted! Billam is looking for his forever home!

Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News. In April 2022, The New York Times examined how he positioned himself to inherit the movement that grew around Donald Trump as he constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news. https://t.co/xRyHp2qeIz

Freeze Warnings have been issued for Southwest Virginia. Sub-freezing temperatures in the lower 30s and 20s are expected along/west of the Blue Ridge early Tuesday morning. The cold air could damage crops/sensitive plants. Take steps to protect your plants tonight. #VAwx
