KDNK's Local Newscast airs weekday mornings at 6:41 and 7:41 during Morning Edition.

The Roaring Fork High School football team has their biggest game in a decade tonight at 7pm here in Carbondale. KDNK got ahold of head coach Jeff Kelley to learn more.

For this week’s news brief, KDNK called up Denver Post reporter Noelle Phillips to talk about ballot selfies. It’s a misdemeanor offense in Colorado to post a photo of your filled-out ballot on social media, but the ACLU says it should be constitutionally-protected free speech.

Leland Rucker, senior editor of Sensi Magazine spoke to KGNU radio yesterday about a new report published by The Marijuana Policy Group in Denver that legal cannabis activities generated over $2.3 billion dollars in output in Colorado last year. Thanks to our partner in the Rocky Mountain Community Radio network for the audio.
