Bright & Early: Strike Three Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was another rough night for us in the storm department, and more than 16,900 customers are still without power this morning according to NES.

Bright & Early: Someone Stole Our Sunshine Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Is it possible to veto a snow storm? Because we’ll sign whatever we need to sign to make that happen. This morning’s forecast actually isn’t looking that bad with only 1-2 inches of snow predicted, though that’s enough frozen stuff to cause Metro and other neighboring school systems to shut things down [...]
