The 2026 homelessness numbers were just released for Los Angeles County. The numbers are up.
When the Almanac first heard that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) was threatening to take TV channel ABC-7 off the air, we thought it was a joke. This station has broadcast to the L.A. region for 75 years and now the FCC questions its commitment to fairly serving Angelenos. The Almanac has monitored L.A.’s media for close to three decades and sees ABC-7 as fairly serving this diverse and complex region as well as any other. It comes down to the current administration in Washington D.C. not being happy that ABC-7’s parent – the Walt Disney Company – won't be bullied into serving its political agenda.
Let the FCC know if you think ABC-7 should remain on the air. You have until July 29 to do so. Message the FCC.

America's indulgence in more war in the Middle East again drives L.A.'s gasoline prices upward.
