• Ogdensburg Fire Department's minimum staffing debated again (nny360.com) — Ogdensburg officials are again clashing with firefighters over how many people should be on duty each shift, with the city cutting back overtime while union leaders and the fire chief insist five firefighters are needed for safety. The dispute centers on vacation staffing, OSHA rules, and whether changing minimum staffing violates the union contract, with both sides signaling they're willing to return to the bargaining table. 
• Buffalo Bills radio network expands to NYC: See all 2026 stations (recordonline.com) — Buffalo Bills fans in Ogdensburg can now catch every game on WQTK 92.7 FM as part of the team's greatly expanded 2026 radio network. The affiliate list now stretches from New York City to Florida and Canada, giving local listeners more pregame, postgame, and in‑game coverage anchored by familiar Bills broadcasters and former players.
