- Kellen Sturgis, director
- Macy Byars, reporter
- Kierstin Foote, reporter
- Hannah Roebke, reporter
- Molly Robinson, sports
- Michael Amankwaa, meteorologist
- Jessica Blum, meteorologist
The show airs every other Friday this fall at 3:30 p.m. on the Nebraska News Service’s YouTube Channel. It will air weekly during the spring semester."
