On this episode of The Current with K.J., we look at a changing of the guard in Silicon Valley as Tim Cook steps down as Apple CEO, break down the latest rise in oil and gas prices, unpack a massive $245 million Bitcoin theft fueled by social engineering, and celebrate the return of both college and NFL football.
Then, in Carolina Focus, we cover a developing homicide investigation in Bertie County, the indictment of a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper in the death of a Cumberland County sheriff’s captain, Wake Forest University’s latest campus free-speech grade, and a historic enrollment milestone at North Carolina Central University.
Finally, in The Hawk’s Nest, we recognize Nash Community College’s 2026–2027 Outstanding Alumnus, Dr. William Denton; look ahead to upcoming Flex Start classes (October 15), the STEP Educational Summit, and the college’s annual Golf Tournament; and begin turning our attention toward Spring 2027 enrollment, including registration opening October 19 and the next Nighthawk Enrollment Day on October 21.
