Bright & Early: Open The Gates And Seize The Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Bonnaroo officials are hoping to alleviate at least some of the traffic woes that have kept some festival attendees from waiting 11 or so hours to get through the gates and backing things up on I-24. Gates will open a little earlier than usual–7pm on Wednesday–to get attendees into the campgrounds faster. [...]
Bright & Early: Get A Room Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re running short on time this morning, so here’s your abbreviated Bright & Early: Metro Councilman Michael Craddock has withdrawn his bid in the mayoral election, leaving Mayor Dean pretty much on his own. Councilman Craddock has only been able to raise $14,000 compared to Dean’s $500,000. [WPLN] The fate of the [...]
Bright & Early: All Things Grow Edition
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, Nashville. We’re on a tight schedule this morning, so here is your abbreviated Bright & Early: Remember last year when someone kilted the naked statues near Music Row for St. Patty’s Day?

Happy Hour: Skate On By
The roads definitely cleared up a bit today, but they’re expected to re-freeze overnight. So be careful! [WKRN] Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford and Sumner County schools are all closed tomorrow along with most others in the midstate.

Bright & Early: In The Snow, Uphill Both Ways Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So how about that snow last night? And that commute? We don’t even want to talk about that commute, really.

Bright & Early: A Grain Of Salt Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The kids are back in school today! Miracles happen. For those keeping track at home, Metro used up their ninth snow day yesterday out of, well, four that were built into the schedule.

Happy Hour: For Whom The Bell Tolls
It will snow! It won’t snow! We’re getting 1/2-inch! We’re getting threeinchesplus! We’re going to get a blizzard! It might actually just rain! Winter storm warning! Winter storm warning canceled! Gosh, okay, can we stop this already? [Nashville WX] Metro Police and the FBI are looking for the guy who robbed the Regions Bank downtown [...]
Bright & Early: Groggy Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Monday. It’s going to be a short one this morning: Don’t count on too much snow tonight and tomorrow. At the moment, we’re pretty much looking at a half-inch or less. [Nashville WX] And again, TDOT has been putting down brine ahead of the expected snow. Except they’re running out [...]
Bright & Early: Snow, Etc. Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We feel like a broken record these days, but did you hear that it’s supposed to snow this afternoon? We should see our first flurries around 2PM and everyone is calling for about 1-2 inches. Though TDOT is already out prepping the roads with what little salt they have left, it could [...]
