RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. The '90s are back. Pokemon has taken over the world yet again with smartphones replacing the Game Boy. The Tanner family has returned, though new episodes of "Full House" are streaming on the internet. And we have a Clinton running for president, but this time, a woman. Driving home the nostalgia, MTV is reviving '90s' favorites like "Beavis & Butt-head" on a new channel, MTV Classic - classic soon to be vintage. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive before year-end will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
