Today’s WBFO Brief has news that is bound to have you dust off the duds for the red carpet. If it’s Friday, it’s Theater Talk and today we bring word that the annual Artie Awards will return live and in person at Shea’s 710 Theatre on Monday, September 20, 2021.
Also, hear Morning Edition Host Jay Moran’s conversation with Cong. Brian Higgins on plans to open the US/Canadian border to fully vaccinated individuals in mid-August, and Albany correspondent Karen DeWitt discussing possible reform of the state’s ethics commission.
And we also have an explanation on why Buffalo News reporters are going on a byline strike, and COVID-related news involving a short-term spike in cases, and a Buffalo City Council discussion on how to spend some federal COVID relief funds.
