Charles Benson, who's been a mainstay in local news and political coverage, has announced when his final farewell at WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) will be in a heartfelt post on X . "My final farewell at TMJ4 will be on Wednesday during the 4p News," he said in the Nov. 10 post. In the post, which was on Benson's "thoughts for today," he shared that he began his career as a reporter in 1982 in Peoria, Illinois. In Wisconsin, he first worked at WBAY in Green Bay, spent 15 years at Milwaukee's WITI-TV (Channel 6) and three years at WKOW in Madison.

My thoughts for today: For the first time in 44 years, I started my morning without

But one thing I didn’t know until last month: Bloch, legendary author of horror, fantasy and science fiction books, and screenplays — including episodes of the original Star Trek series — lived and worked in Wisconsin for much of his life.

Racine HarborFest takes 2027 off, plans a 2028 return

RACINE, Wis.— The musical festival HarborFest won’t return to the shores of Lake Michigan until 2028. “We have decided to take a one-year hiatus from organizing Racine HarborFest for several reasons,” HarborFest organizer Gary Suokko said in an emailed response to Racine County Eye. “As you can imagine, putting on an event of this size requires significant sponsorship support, numerous volunteers, and a tremendous amount of work from both Jeff Marsh and me. Additionally, the city does not have the resources to assist with the event, nor does 5K Events, which operates Festival Park.”
