Brian Holmes’ bold legacy at KTVB

Brian Holmes is stepping away from KTVB after redefining what local news can be in Boise. For nearly 30 years, he’s been more than just an anchor—he’s been a storyteller who made the news feel like a conversation with friends, not a lecture. His show, The 208, broke the mold with its honest, witty, and sometimes snarky take on Idaho’s stories. Holmes’ commitment to authenticity and community engagement leaves big shoes to fill. What do you think local news should look like going forward? How has The 208 changed your view of Boise news? #Entertainment #Boise #LocalNews

Boise teams unite to tackle hunger

Before the big game at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Washington State and Utah State players swapped the field for the food line—racing to pack 40,000 meals for Idaho families. The gym at Bishop Kelly High was buzzing with cheers and friendly rivalry, but the real win was seeing athletes come together for something bigger than football. It’s moments like these that show how sports can spark real change in our community. What do you think—should more teams make service part of their pre-game tradition? #Sports #Boise #TackleHunger

Nearly 93,000 Boise patients hit by data breach

A major data breach at NS Support in Boise has put the personal health info of almost 93,000 patients at risk. While no Social Security or financial details were leaked, sensitive medical notes from doctor visits were exposed. The breach was discovered months after hackers got in, but the company says there’s no sign the stolen data has been misused so far. They’ve rebuilt their systems and are beefing up security, but no credit monitoring is being offered. How do you feel about the growing number of healthcare hacks? Should companies do more to protect our data? #Health #BodyHealth #Boise
