Good morning, Tyler.

KVNE’s Small Town Summer Stops brought cheer to community members outside Hangers of Hope — residents gathered to enjoy the event.

Tyler ISD will add a new sports media program for students to learn reporting and broadcasting — the program will mix classroom lessons with hands-on experience at school sports events — district officials say.

More details on enrollment and the start date have yet to be announced.

Dr. Steven Idell, a Tyler resident and professor of medicine, warned that the proposed NIH funding cut—from about $47 billion to $27 billion in the 2026 budget—could slow biomedical research and delay new treatments for major illnesses.

He said the changes may drive promising physician-investigators away from research, risking future advances in health care.
