Good morning, Eau Claire.

Dave Deville, longtime Z-100 morning host and senior vice president of programming, was let go by iHeartRadio as part of a nationwide cost-cutting move—affecting several stations in our area.

He thanked listeners for their support during his tenure and his work with Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.

University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is hosting over 400 high school musicians from across the state this week for a WSMA program — the initiative gives students hands-on music experience.

Former Eau Claire City Council president and congressional candidate Emily Berge hosted Bergepalooza Wednesday night to stress local community involvement.

She said her campaign focuses on listening to residents’ concerns—from healthcare to data centers—as she calls for more direct, transparent leadership.

The 900 District, a reimagined former hospital turned health and wellness campus, is open now with tenants such as HeartWorks, Chippewa Valley Technical College, UW-Eau Claire, True Wellness and the YMCA using its space.

Developers say interior renovations will be adjusted as future tenant needs arise — keeping costs low.

Liz Nicolai (formerly with Regis) has been hired as the new head coach for Eau Claire Memorial volleyball.

She will lead the team in upcoming local competitions.
