AMERICA'S HOSTS: STEVE INSKEEP AND RENEE MONTAGNE; NEWSCASTS: Giles Snyder, Jean Cochran
CALIFORNIA/NEVADA HOST: Donna Apidone; NEWSCASTS: Steve Shadley

Here are some highlights of today's show:

At least one analyst says it’s still an excellent time for first time home buyers to make a purchase in the Sacramento area.  KXJZ's Steve Shadley takes a closer look at the Sacramento area’s uncertain real estate market and a little-known mortgage rule that’s driving up down payments ... this morning at 6:35 and 8:35.

Are Clinton Democrats ready to support Obama?  The latest from the Democratic National Convention in Denver this morning at 6:10 and 8:10.  Other highlights will air throughout the morning.

Friday marks the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina striking the Gulf Coast. Some progress has been made in rebuilding New Orleans. And while huge problems remain, the woes don't seem as insuperable as they once did. More at 5:21 and 7:21.

When it comes to sports organizations, look out for federations and officials wearing blue blazers. That's the view of commentator Frank Deford.  He'll be in at 7:51.

Thanks for listening.  Stay cool.
