The Kansas Bureau of Investigation will delay six hires and leave 12 vacancies unfilled, risking reduced attention to some cases and higher stress for sheriffs across Kansas.

Ruling clears way for dual KSU football broadcasts
A Topeka judge made permanent a ruling that allows Kansas State football games to be broadcast by two stations this fall. WIBW and KKSU share 580 AM under a 1969 agreement, with KKSU getting 15 extra minutes daily in exchange for game-time air and K State coverage. The decision upholds a prior injunction and argues the time-share constitutes non-exclusive rights.
