What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoorDash is buying Instacart for seventeen billion dollars, a deal that joins the country's biggest restaurant delivery service with its biggest online grocery platform.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe company pitches it as a way to help local stores compete, and an earlier attempt to merge the two fell apart five years ago over antitrust concerns.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Oxford archaeologist who found it says a Roman roofing slate poking out of the ground caught his eye while he was riding his bike.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA legend in medieval Welsh tales says Magnus Maximus pitched camp on a hill nearby, so this could be the legend finally getting its receipt.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn college football, half of the Big Ten's eighteen teams could start a backup quarterback this weekend, according to the Associated Press.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd Brewers broadcaster Jeff Levering says he felt Bob Uecker smiling down on him during his final World Series call.
