Favorite Radio + Airport Hiring + Building Mayfield

Morning, neighbors! John Braese here with a fresh issue of the Boise Daily.

Even with our smartphones and online stations, Boise still listens to radio as we sit in traffic. Here is the breakdown of the most popular stations we listen to while sitting on the connector. If you love looking at airplanes, the Boise Airport is holding a hiring event. The search continues in Fruitland for a missing child, and Boise could see new homes out past Micron. Finally, a Boise man faces serious charges after authorities say he used the internet to entice children.

First, today's weather: Partly cloudy throughout the day. High: 88, low: 62.

Here are the top stories today in Boise:
