Morgan Wallen Wins, Nashville 'Survivor' Loses, and Our Resolutions for 2025
We promised drama at Tuesday’s Metro Council meeting and it delivered — although not in the way we expected. Nashville Scene columnist Nicole Williams joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek for the final Friday News Roundup of 2024. She’s explaining why Morgan Wallen’s sign got approved without discussion and how a resolution involving public safety departments sparked emotions. Nicole and Whitney also go long on the “Survivor” finale (where local Titans beat reporter Sam Phalen made the final three), Marie alerts us to Justin Timberlake’s wardrobe malfunction at Bridgestone, and everyone shares their New Year’s resolutions for Nashville.
