Start your Thursday morning with big news, community connection, and lively conversation across the Riverbend!
At 9:00 AM, we’re kicking things off HOT with a major announcement — the return of Woody’s Chicken. We’ll sit down with the owners of Woody's Chicken to talk through their plans for the comeback, how the return will work, and what longtime fans and new customers can expect when this local favorite makes its long-awaited return. If you’ve missed Woody’s, this is a must-listen segment.
At 9:20 AM, Calvary Baptist Church joins us to highlight upcoming events and to share what makes Calvary Christian School such a strong, welcoming environment for students and families. We’ll talk faith, education, and the culture that continues to draw families to Calvary.
Then at 10:35 AM, Denise Sparks joins us from Sparks Junk Removal to share the latest updates from the company, how they’re helping residents and businesses clean up, and what’s new as they continue to grow across the region.
A high-energy Thursday packed with big announcements, thoughtful discussion, and local impact.
