Sign up for the Hello, Houston!<\/a> daily newsletter to get local reports like this delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n

Also this hour: The nation continues to react to Saturday’s fatal shooting<\/a> by federal officers of 37-year-old intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We consider the political implications for the nation and for the Houston area. And we welcome listener reactions and thoughts.<\/p>\n

Then, today is the 100th anniversary of the first public demonstration of live television<\/a>. We mark that moment by discussing Houston’s television history and landscape.<\/p>\n

And former Astro Carlos Beltran is headed to the Hall of Fame<\/a>. Since he was also a major figure in the Astros’ electronic sign-stealing scandal, does his election mean furor over that scandal is beginning to fade? And does it suggest Jose Altuve and other Astros stars will have an easier path to the Hall of Fame when the time comes as well?<\/p>\n

Audio from today\u2019s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here<\/a>, on iTunes<\/a>, Stitcher<\/a> and other apps.<\/p>\n
