Short explanation of the story and how it developed:

VOCM’s 10 a.m. News Update on July 17, 2024, showcased breaking coverage of two unfolding stories. We reported live as the FFAW quickly gave away 2,000 pounds of cod in protest of a DFO fishery decision, capturing industry reaction. The newscast also delivered the first details of significant police activity in downtown St. John’s, later confirmed as a homicide investigation. With a focus on speed, accuracy, and public impact, this update kept listeners informed as events developed. The broadcast concluded with a comprehensive provincial weather forecast, ensuring audiences had essential information for the day ahead.
