Noah Kahan‘s next album officially has a title and release date.

The record is called The Great Divide and will arrive on April 24.

“The music here is my best attempt to delve deeper into the people, places, and feelings that have made me who I am,” he continues. “I am grateful for all of it, for all of you, for listening to them, if you choose to do so.”

Kahan previously teased a song called “The Great Divide,” which is set to premiere on Friday.

The album The Great Divide follows Kahan’s breakout album, Stick Season, which was first released in 2022 and later expanded in various deluxe editions.

Trump says ‘massive Armada’ heading to Iran, warns time is running out for nuclear deal

January 28, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday said a “massive Armada” was heading toward Iran and warned Tehran to make a nuclear deal or the attack will be “far worse.”

“A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

“Hopefully Iran will quickly ‘Come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS – one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse!” Trump added.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Benson Boone stars in Super Bowl Instacart ad with Ben Stiller

January 28, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Benson Boone is doing everything for the Super Bowl — except headlining the halftime show.

As previously reported, Benson will perform on Feb. 5 at a charity concert organized by the Bay Area Host Committee and take part in the YouTube Super Bowl LX Flag Football game on Feb. 7. Now, it’s been announced he’ll star in a Super Bowl commercial with Ben Stiller that will air on Feb. 8, the day of the game.

The ad, which is for Instacart, features Ben and Benson as a retro Euro-disco-pop duo of brothers, singing about how Instacart’s new Preference Picker product feature allows them to pick the perfect bananas.

In the director’s cut version of the ad, the song gradually escalates into a sibling rivalry showdown. After Benson nails one of his signature flips, Ben tries to copy him and wipes out. He then makes a second attempt, only to crash into the on-stage speakers.

Benson pleads with Ben to stop, but he won’t listen. Instead, he climbs higher up on a piece of the stage set and attempts the flip again, this time crashing into the drumkit.

“I did the flip!” Ben declares, staggering to his feet and falling off the stage.

“Working on a Super Bowl commercial for Instacart blew my mind,” Benson says in a statement. “However, adding Ben Stiller to the equation… diabolical.”

Benson has got his eye on the prize for the future. He tells Billboard, “I think down the line — like, far down the line — I could really rip a Super Bowl halftime show.”

He also shared his Instacart order with Billboard. “Fruit snacks …. When I’m in the studio, I’ll eat, like, 20 a day , and Martinelli’s apple juice,” he says, acknowledging that it sounds like “a 5-year-old’s diet.”

Potential nor’easter headed to East Coast this weekend: Latest forecast

January 28, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — As the East Coast digs out from a massive snowstorm, a potential nor’easter could bring more snow to the region this weekend.

The details are not yet clear, but here is what the forecast shows so far:

On Friday afternoon and night, a low-pressure system may bring snow to parts of Tennessee and Kentucky.

On Saturday, snow is expected from Georgia to Maryland. Snow totals are not yet clear, but everyone along the coast from Atlanta to Baltimore should be prepared for heavy snow.

Major travel impacts are possible on Saturday at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.

Strong, potentially damaging winds are also possible in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

On Sunday, the storm could take two paths.

If it heads out to sea, Sunday will be mostly dry for the East Coast, though gusty winds and coastal erosion will still be possible.

If the system hugs the coast, a nor’easter will bring snow to coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The snow would hit most of Sunday and end overnight into Monday.
