I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Thursday, February 22nd.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:24,400
You'll be interested to know, 44 years ago today, in 1980, the U.S. Olympic ice hockey

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:32,360
team defeated the favored Soviet team in what is known as the Miracle on Ice.

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,920
More on this topic later in the episode.

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,160
Now let's check out the weather in the Encinitas area.

9
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,120
This morning it's mostly cloudy and 52 degrees, with just about no wind.

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:53,560
The sunset will take place at 5.40 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.23 a.m.

11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,800
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day with a high near 59 and northwest wind

12
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,400
5 to 15 mile per hour.

13
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Tonight, partly cloudy with a low around 52.

14
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480
And now the surf report.

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,920
The Old West and Northwest swell is fading, making Thursday milder with thigh-to-waist

16
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,760
high waves and shoulder high in standout areas.

17
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,200
Wednesdays are the best time to catch them before they diminish further.

18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,300
Friday brings a modest new West-Northwest swell, boosting wave sizes back to waist-high

19
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:34,280
and peaking on Saturday.

20
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:40,000
The weekend ends with a dip in wave size, and the end-of-month outlook remains uncertain,

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,080
fluctuating between storms and high-pressure systems.

22
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Stay tuned for more info.

23
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Thursday in Encinitas and North County hits looking good and clean at 2 plus feet before

24
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,160
10 a.m. with a 4.4-foot incoming high tide at 6 a.m.

25
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Best time to ride will be early morning.

26
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,320
Everything after 11 is looking unrideable.

27
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Air temps for the morning surf are around 52 degrees.

28
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:18,560
The first high tide Thursday will be 5.5 feet at 7.40 a.m. with a minus-1-foot low tide

29
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200
at 2.40 p.m.

30
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:30,040
The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature.

31
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,520
Looking ahead in the weather.

32
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,720
We'll see a pleasant end to the week with mostly sunny skies and a high near 63 degrees

33
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,640
on Friday, accompanied by a gentle south to west wind.

34
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,400
Friday night turns mostly cloudy, dipping to about 55, and the weekend maintains similar

35
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,960
patterns with partly sunny days near 63 degrees and mostly cloudy nights around 55.

36
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,080
Sunday night brings a slight chance of rain after 10 p.m.

37
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Bonjour, food enthusiasts!

43
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,200
They are open every day from 8 to 5.

44
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,680

Sunny mornings send you!

46
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,680
In local news, the Cabrillo National Monument's tide pools were closed yesterday due to a

47
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,840
sewage spill at Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, situated about half a mile north.

48
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,160
The incident, resulting in almost 6,000 gallons of sewage spillage, prompted a warning from

49
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520
National Park Service officials.

50
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,200
While the coastal trail remains open, the surrounding water areas, extending a quarter

51
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,480
mile both north and south of the plant, are also closed.

52
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,040
The closure will continue until tests confirm the water is safe.

53
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Investigations into the spill's cause are ongoing.

54
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:32,600

55
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Now onto sports.

56
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,600
In 1980, at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, a momentous event unfolded in the

57
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,680
world of sports.

58
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,880
The U.S. Olympic hockey team, composed of young, talented college players, faced the

59
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,360
formidable Soviet Union team, unbeaten in the Olympics since 1964.

60
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Despite the odds in the Soviets' previous 10-3 victory over the U.S., the American team,

61
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:09,920
under Coach Herb Brooks, triumphed in a game that came to be known as the Miracle on Ice.

62
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800
This victory was more than just a sports win.

63
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,860
It was a significant morale boost for America, then grappling with the Iran hostage crisis

64
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:22,200
and other political turmoil.

65
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,920
The game symbolized a triumph of determination and spirit, etching itself as a pivotal moment

66
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,600
in sports history.

67
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,360
No basketball last night, but in national hockey, the Ducks at home were hit with an

68
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,360
onslaught of goals from the Blue Jackets, losing 7-4.

69
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,040
And tonight, the Kings are on the road to take on the Predators.

70
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Also tonight, the Lakers and the Clippers are back on the court after their all-star

71
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,120
break.

72
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200
The Lakers are on the road taking on the Warriors.

73
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,920
And the Clippers are also on the road to take on the Thunder.

74
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:07,960
In top news, Nielsen's latest report reveals YouTube as the top TV streaming service in

75
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:15,560
the U.S. for 12 consecutive months, capturing 8.6 percent of television screen viewing.

76
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Netflix follows closely with just about 8 percent.

77
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:25,160
This dominance is further highlighted by viewers consuming over 1 billion hours of YouTube

78
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,240
content daily on TVs.

79
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,720
Particularly, Gen Z shows a strong preference for user-generated content, with 61 percent

80
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,960
favoring it over traditional TV shows.

81
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,280
YouTube creators are also experiencing a significant increase in TV viewership, with top YouTubers

82
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:52,120
seeing a more than 400 percent rise in watch time on TVs.

83
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:58,080
This trend benefits family-friendly YouTubers, especially considering children's high usage

84
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,520
of TikTok.

85
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,280
While YouTube leads in the living room, TikTok remains dominant on mobile devices, even competing

86
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,940
with longer video formats.

87
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:15,200
YouTube's recent achievements include reaching over 100 million subscribers for YouTube Music

88
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:22,880
and YouTube Premium, over 8 million subscribers for YouTube TV, and surpassing 70 billion daily

89
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,580
views on YouTube shorts.

90
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:33,400
In business news, in the recent Industrial Sector update, Wheels Up Experience, a private

91
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,000
jet charter business, emerged as the week's top gainer, soaring 80 percent.

92
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Despite a year-to-date stock slump of 69 percent.

93
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:49,960
This contrasts with FedEx, which experienced an almost 12 percent decline following second-quarter

94
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,440
results that missed estimates.

95
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:00,720
The Industrial Select Sector and the Spider S&P 500 ETFs continued their upward trend,

96
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,560
with respective gains of 0.1 percent and 0.92 percent.

97
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Rocket Lab USA, an aerospace company, also saw notable growth, up 18 percent, following

98
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,560
a significant government contract.

99
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,160
The sector's top performers showed more than 11 percent gains each, with three out of five

100
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,960
stocks in the green here to date.

101
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,800
The performance of these companies highlights the dynamic nature of the Industrial Sector

102
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,320
amidst varying economic conditions.

103
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:42,840
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is currently just under $52,000, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana

104
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,920
is $103.

105
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,340
Moving on to a more local vibe.

106
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:57,340
In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

107
00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:01,560
to bring you some free classes, so listen up.

109
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:12,880

110
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,360
and elevating mental well-being.

111
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Scientific research affirms its benefits.

112
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:26,120
So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas,

113
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.

115
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,800
And now back to the show.

116
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,840
Let's talk tech.

117
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:48,000
Skyrise has introduced the world's first production fly-by-wire helicopter, the Skyrise

118
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,920
One, revolutionizing helicopter control systems.

119
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,880
This innovative helicopter is operated using a single joystick and a pair of touchscreens,

120
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,400
simplifying the traditional controls.

121
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:09,120
The underlying technology, SkyOS, automates various functions, translating pilot inputs

122
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,280
and environmental conditions into seamless, four-axis flight.

123
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Key features include a swipe-to-start procedure, auto-pickup, and set-down capabilities, and

124
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,520
a fully automated auto-rotation for emergencies.

125
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,600
Skyrise CEO Dr. Mark Groton highlights the groundbreaking nature of this technology,

126
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,800
making helicopter operation easier and potentially safer.

127
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,280
The Skyrise One aims to improve safety in an industry where fatal accidents are frequent.

128
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:49,080
It is certified for instrument flight rules, with a triple-redundant fly-by-wire system

129
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,320
ensuring stability and safety.

130
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,560
Interestingly, the system is adaptable to other aircraft, making it a versatile technological

131
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:00,720
advancement.

132
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Priced at $1.8 million with a $2,500 refundable reservation, the Skyrise One offers advanced

133
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,240
features compared to traditional helicopters.

134
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:24,160
This could represent a significant step forward in aviation safety and accessibility.

135
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,760
And in entertainment news.

136
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Rod Stewart, known for kits like Maggie Mae and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, has sold his song

137
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,680
catalog including publishing and recorded music rights, along with some name and likeness

138
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:40,360
rights.

139
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:47,760
The deal, nearly $100 million, was with Irving Azoff's iconic artist group.

140
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,400
This sale comes amidst a surge in music rights investments, with Iconic raising over $1 billion

141
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,280
for future catalog investments.

142
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,600
Stewart's extensive catalog covers his solo career and time with Faces and the Jeff Beck

143
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,760
group.

144
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:13,120
Stanley Stewart, at 79, is on a world tour and releasing his 30-second studio album,

145
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,860
Swing Fever.

146
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:20,600
This transaction is part of a broader trend, where music catalogs are increasingly viewed

147
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,120
as valuable assets.

148
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Iconic, joining a competitive market in 2021, focuses on managing and enhancing value in

149
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:37,080
these catalogs, including leveraging opportunities like Linda Ronstadt's Song Resurgence from

150
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,640
HBO's The Last of Us.

151
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,080
The market, previously reaching multiples of 20 times annual earnings, includes major

152
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,720
artists like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen selling their catalogs.

153
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,720
Stewart, previously in talks with Hypnosis, chose Iconic for his catalog ensuring his

154
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,120
likes works management aligns with his vision.

155
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

156
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,320
And today our quote comes from Herb Brooks, the coach of the 1980 U.S. Olympic ice hockey

157
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000
team.

158
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Great moments are born from great opportunity.

159
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,920
And that's what you have here tonight, boys.

160
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:37,560
That's what you've earned here tonight.

161
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:40,520
One game.

162
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,520
If we play them ten times, they might win nine.

163
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,040
But not this game.

164
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Not tonight.

165
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Tonight, we skate with them.

166
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Tonight, we stay with them.

167
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:08,440
And we shut them down because we can.

168
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

169
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:27,760
You were born to be hockey players.

170
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Every one of you.

171
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:40,680
And you were meant to be here tonight.

172
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,960
This is your time.

173
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Your time is done.

174
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200
It's over.

175
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:59,360
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have.

176
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Screw them.

177
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,800
This is your time.

178
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:10,800
Now go out there and take it.

179
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,120
And that's a wrap for this morning.

180
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,080
Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates.

181
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:44,080
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
