Thursday, August 27, 2026
On this Thursday edition of the Bill Bunkley Show, host Bill Bunkley broadcasts live from Tampa while closely monitoring the Tampa City Council’s marathon public hearing and anticipated vote on a proposed multi-billion-dollar Tampa Bay Rays stadium and sports destination complex near Raymond James Stadium and Steinbrenner Field on the Hillsborough College campus. Listeners hear passionate public testimony for and against the deal, updates on revised public-private funding, and word that the Hillsborough County Commission is set to take up the matter the following day. The show also celebrates a successful Food for the Poor campaign that will provide food security for 766 children in Latin America and the Caribbean, announces the September 22 Pastors Appreciation Day & Ministry Expo featuring Focus on the Family’s Dr. Greg Smalley at the Shana and Brian Glazer JCC, and addresses a caller’s concerns about dual citizenship and national loyalty. Bunkley unpacks the sudden appearance of Tropical Storm Dolly (a long-scheduled name that coincidentally follows Dolly Parton’s recent passing), Florida’s ongoing drought risk amid Sahara dust and El Niño wind shear, and delivers an in-depth examination of Florida’s Flock license-plate reader cameras—highlighting privacy erosions, documented abuses, Governor DeSantis’s criticism, local pushback in Pasco County and St. Petersburg, and the competing public-safety benefits for child abductions and violent crime. The program closes with encouraging news of the FDA’s approval of Revolution Medicines’ Rasonq, a targeted therapy for RAS-mutated advanced pancreatic cancer that nearly doubles survival in late-stage trials, offering new hope against one of the deadliest cancers.
