11 more measles cases have been reported in Ocono County, bringing Wisconsin's state total to 36.
The cases remain confined to Ocono County, where Wisconsin's measles outbreak began this summer, when nine people became infected, following a single exposure while traveling out of state,
according to the State Department of Health Services. Since then, cases have steadily climbed, despite efforts by local health officials, to identify close contacts who may have been exposed to confirmed cases in order to head off further spread of the disease.
All cases have been among unvaccinated people, and data shows two people have been hospitalized so far. No deaths have been reported.
The State Health Department releases new case data on Tuesdays and Fridays. For news at the top and bottom of the hour all day and on demand any time at WGBW.FM, I'm Connie Feldman, 97.9 WGBW News.
Brewers baseball tonight. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports. The Brewers open a three-game series tonight against the Los Angeles Angels at American Family Field. Milwaukee with a five-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.
The Angels are in last place in the American League West, 13 games behind the Mariners. NFL, Matlow Flour says the Packers 10 penalties last Thursday night were far too many.
We went into the game. We knew that the penalties were going to be a big part of the game, and we had far too many. So obviously the first drive indicated a touchdown.
And then we had pre-snap penalties. You don't want any of those. We had a couple pre-snap penalties. We had a couple penalties on special teams that really played a big impact on field position.
The Packers play the Browns in Cleveland on Sunday. The Minnesota Vikings will be without their quarterback, JJ McCarthy. The next two to four weeks, McCarthy suffering a high ankle sprain during their loss to the Falcons on Sunday night.
Carson Wentz will take over at quarterback with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Peach Waba. The 77th Emmy Awards are in the books, and there was big news from the event. Probably the biggest story was HBO's The Pit winning outstanding drama series.
Star of the show Noah Wiley also took home a Best Actor Award, and The Pit's Catherine Lanassa won Best Supporting Actress.
Another big story of the night was the Netflix show Adolescence, which won six Emmy Awards, three of which went to Steven Graham for acting, writing, and producing.
Apple TV's The Studio won four Emmys, including Best Comedy Series, Britt Lower of Apple TV's Severance got her first Emmy off her first nomination, and took home the Best Actress in a drama series.
Jean Smart took home her fourth Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role on Hacks.
Smart has picked up a total of 14 Emmy nominations over her impressive career.
15-year-old Owen Cooper became the youngest recipient ever for his role in Adolescence. He was excellent.
Rain Wilson appeared on the last laugh podcast last week, and said he felt that at times the show The Office went too far with racial and sexist jokes.
Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute, said they could never get away with some of the jokes now.
Wilson also said that NBC ultimately passed on a spin-off, which would have starred the Dwight Schrute character, and would have been set on his character's beat farm, the show would have been called The Farm.
News from the Emmys, Steven Colbert presented the best lead actor in a comedy series.
Beforehand, Colbert jokingly asked when he got behind the mic if anyone was hiring. Colbert will exit the late show in May of 2026.
Colbert also joked that he brought his resume and showed the crowd his old headshot.
The late show host was visibly moved when the crowd started chanting Steven. Great guy.
And by the way, best lead actor in a comedy series went to Seth Rogan for the studio.
