We started 94 by catching our listeners up to the top three stories making headlines this week.
Facebook users woke up to a surprise this week as they logged onto the social networking website. The company made changes to it's platform throughout Wednesday and Thursday after announcements were made at the F8 conference in San Fransisco California.
CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg said the Facebook experience will be a new way to express who users truly are. He introduced the Facebook Timeline program on Thursday for developers, journalists and more than 100,000 online viewers.
Other new features introduced this week include expansions on the "like" button, enhancements to the welcome page featuring friends top stories, expanded friend lists and a real-time feed window.Users can expect these changes to roll out throughout the rest of the week.
Winnipeg Police have arrested two teen boys after a violent stabbing spree that happened between 11:30 on Wednesday night and 2:00 am on Thursday morning in Winnipeg's West End area.
The incident left 5 people injured and a woman assaulted.
The alleged attacks took place in the 500 block of Sherbrook street, two attacks in the 600 block of Balmoral Street, and two attacks on Ellice Avenue at Agnus street.Winnipeg Police say the motives for the attack remain unclear and there is no indication that the attacks are gang related.
Ending off news this week, after 15 years of hoping and waiting, The Winnipeg Jets returned home on Tuesday taking on the Columbus Blue Jackets in their first pre-season exhibition game at the MTS Centre.
Fans that were lucky enough to get seats were not disappointed with their team as the Jets beat the blue jackets 6-1 in front of a sold out crowd.
