On Friday's show: We get updates on METRO's recent decision not to move forward with the University Corridor line and on the latest death of a Harris County jail inmate.

Also this hour: We learn how a bankruptcy case in Houston may signal the future of live TV sports. And we remember Kinky Friedman, the entertainer, rancher, gubernatorial candidate, and dog lover died Thursday at age 79.

Then, a college coach moves from one rival to another, while a hot dog eating champion banned from one July 4th competition heads to another – and it’s all happening in Texas, of course. We discuss on this week’s edition of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

And, after more than three decades in TV weather, KPRC Chief Meteorologist Frank Billingsley is retiring. His friend Ernie Manouse checks in with him ahead of his final newscast.
