QUOTE ME: Legendary Twin Ports sports guru Fred Friedman on Sunday's Super Bowl LIX: "The Eagles have more talent but the most offensive sports fans this side of the Atlantic. Visiting players’ families are openly advised not to attend the games in south Philly. KC has the best coach in the sport and (Patrick) Mahomes. I think the Eagles are more likely to prevail because of superior line play. Don’t gamble."

Howie: Laura Lee the next television anchor voice of the Northland

You can sense Lee's broadcast discipline the moment the red light clicks on. Her voice carries polish without pretense, her cadence deliberate but not cold. She has that calm, centered presence that suggests she’s not there to perform — she’s there to communicate.

That perfectionism has made WDIO what it is — the region’s dominant newscast for years running. Viewers know exactly what they’ll get: no chaos, no stunts, just clean, confident journalism. Danielson’s the face of that brand, but also its conscience.

Howie: Dan Hanger’s quiet reign over the Twin Ports airwaves

If you watch Hanger closely, you’ll notice he occasionally glances at the prompter with a smirk, like he’s reminding himself not to take any of it too seriously. That’s a healthy instinct in an industry where self-importance runs rampant.

Howie: When hospitals become economic engines

Dr. David Herman sees hospitals as ecosystems — living, breathing networks that keep small towns from disappearing. Duluth’s skyline now offers proof in steel and glass. The new St. Mary’s Medical Center doesn’t just treat patients. It sends a message: downtown Duluth still matters.
