Wednesday’s edition of ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis presents a lineup that is a snapshot of modern America. The broadcast will feature an interview with Fuerza Regida, the chart-topping Regional Mexican band, alongside a hard-hitting “Prime Focus” segment from Matt Gutman on the U.S. Army’s latest recruitment efforts. The pairing of a musical powerhouse with a report on military readiness makes for a distinctly varied hour of news programming.
Fuerza Regida, whose recent work includes the project 111XPANTIA, continues to be a major force in the music industry, bringing their genre to a massive global audience. Their appearance on a prime-time news program underscores their crossover appeal and the growing influence of Regional Mexican music.
In the broadcast’s other main story, Matt Gutman reports on the Army’s 250th birthday and a new initiative: a camp for future soldiers designed to help out-of-shape recruits meet enlistment standards. The segment takes a direct look at the military’s current recruitment difficulties and the creative solutions being implemented. It’s a serious piece of journalism that stands in sharp contrast to the celebrity interview, demonstrating the program’s ability to pivot between culture and current affairs.
ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis streams weeknights at 7:00 PM EDT on ABC News Live.
