Through a partnership with Starlink, Louisiana is helping those in areas so rural that it’s impossible to get fiber internet installed to get online with broadband. ConnectLA Executive Director Veneeth Iyengar says the customers will get the equipment for free, and the service will be about 55 dollars a month for good, reliable high-speed internet.

Cut 4 (11) “…of those speeds.”

Lane Kiffin took the stage at SEC Media Days as an LSU Tiger for the first time. Kace Kieschnick has more.

Cut 2 (33) “…I’m Kace Kieschnick.”

Something else that Kiffin weighed in on was a proposed rule that informally bears his name. The so-called “Lane Kiffin Rule” as part of the Protect College Sports Act would prevent coaches from jumping from school to school mid-season. Kiffin said he actually supports it, saying he hopes future coaches aren’t put in the same predicament he was put in last year.

The state takes a huge step towards its goal of making high-speed internet access available to everyone through a new partnership with Starlink. Joe Gallinaro reports.

The average price of Gas in Louisiana has jumped 14 cents in the last week. The current state average for regular gasoline, according to Triple-A, is around three-dollars-67-cents a gallon. That’s a 26-cent increase compared to a month ago and a 90-cent increase from this time last year.

Lane Kiffin has been on a rare sabbatical from social media use this summer. At SEC Media Days today, he explained his son Knox challenged him to stop using the apps. Kiffin said as people go through life, they often add things, but this break has helped him find the importance of subtraction.

Cut 7 (09) “…refreshing”

Kiffin has made just one post on X since May 11.

Attorney General Liz Murrill and Governor Jeff Landry are not letting go of the dismissed 16-count indictment against Murrill from an Orleans Parish Grand Jury.

Cut 11 (09) “…under those circumstances.”

Even though the 16-count indictment against her has been dismissed, Attorney General Liz Murrill wants to get to the bottom of how it all happened. State Police have launched a criminal investigation into the grand jury which indicted her. Loyola University Law Professor Dane Ciolino says one thing that’s notable is that Murrill’s office generally does not have criminal jurisdiction over matters in Orleans Parish.

Cut 10 (10) “…office’s independent investigation.” 

Louisiana takes a huge step towards connecting the entire state to broadband internet through a partnership with Starlink. ConnectLA Executive Director Veneeth Iyengar says Starlink will deliver high-speed internet access to more than ten-thousand rural locations in more than 50 parishes by the end of the summer.

Cut 3 (12) “…folks with Starlink.”

LSU took center stage at SEC Media Days today. Senior linebacker Whit Weeks could have gone to the NFL Draft after an injury-riddled 2025, which followed a first-team All-SEC selection in 2024 when he registered 125 tackles. Instead, Weeks decided to come back to lead coordinator Blake Baker’s defense back to dominance.

Cut 13 (08)  “…Baton Rouge.”

Of course, another potential reason Weeks came back is so that he could play for his girlfriend’s father. Speaking of whom, Lane Kiffin was asked about his comment in a Vanity Fair story that Oxford’s lack of diversity hurt his talent acquisition at Ole Miss.

Cut 8 (14) “…of the words.”

A State Police investigation into the 16-count indictment against Attorney General Liz Murrill has been ongoing since the indictment was handed down on July 2^nd.

Cut 12 (11) “…into than this”

Murrill says an investigation needs to happen to see if the grand jury system in Orleans Parish was weaponized against a state official.

Louisiana has signed a grant agreement with Space X’s Starlink that will expand broadband access to more than 10-thousand locations in over 50 parishes by the end of the summer. ConnectLA executive director Veneeth Iyengar says Starlink can provide high-speed internet to those very rural areas…

It was the moment the college football world was waiting for – Lane Kiffin made his first SEC Media Days appearance with LSU today. He reflected on his growth as a person since arriving in Baton Rouge. He said one of the ways he’s grown is his social media use. His son Knox challenged him not to use the apps. Kiffin said he has since deleted them and realized how many others are addicted.

The road to the 2028 Olympics could be going through Baton Rouge – at least in one sport.

Holding the event in Baton Rouge would generate nearly seven-million dollars in business sales.

Even though the 16-count indictment against her has been dismissed, Attorney General Liz Murrill wants to get to the bottom of how it all happened. Murrill especially took issue with the way the grand jury went about its proceedings, noting all the information leaks.

Ciolino says there’s also the potential issue of a conflict of interest, since Murrill is both the state’s top attorney and a former defendant.

There will be an interesting dynamic this season at LSU, with linebacker Whit Weeks back for his senior season, not passing up the opportunity to play for his girlfriend’s father.

Consider it a dress rehearsal. Tropical Storm Bertha didn’t end up being Big Bertha – it really wasn’t Baby Bertha, either. It crossed the Louisiana coast with maximum sustained winds constantly at 45 miles an hour. But the dry air and wind shear from the north prevented any areas inland from getting any significant rainfall.

Mey cautions against focusing so much on protein that you neglect nutritious whole foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
