In today's episode, we start with the weather report for the Boston area, where patchy fog gives way to mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching near eighty degrees. Expect partly cloudy conditions tonight with a low around sixty-six and a light southeast wind. The weekend will bring partly sunny skies and highs near eighty, with rain showers and thunderstorms likely early next week.

We then shift to local sports, where the Red Sox, on the road, lost to the Orioles and are gearing up for another game against Baltimore tonight. The team continues to navigate the season with hopes of improving their standing.

Next, we discuss the steep decline of cable TV, the financial hits faced by Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery, and the industry's potential adaptations. In business news, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announces plans to pass a crypto bill by year-end, signaling a shift in regulatory engagement. In tech, we explore new findings on the asteroid that caused the dinosaur extinction, and in entertainment, Nicolas Cage is set to portray John Madden in an upcoming biopic. We conclude with an inspiring quote from John Madden.
