WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Friday, December 4, 2020. Our top story is about how the traditional bell ringing for the Peoria Area Salvation Army is quiet for now, as potential COVID-19 exposure has left the Red Kettle collection stations unmanned. You'll also hear how during the first three months of the pandemic, the number of Americans dying - not just from COVID-19 - increased compared to previous years. That’s according to a recent study led by University of Illinois researchers, involving CDC data.
Daniel Musisi is WCBU's Assistant Audio Director. He's also the host of our daily newsmagazine All Things Peoria.
