Daily News Brief | January 19, 2026

Give us about fifteen minutes a day, and we will give you all the local news, sports, weather, and events you can handle. SPONSORS: Many thanks to our sponsors… Annapolis Subaru, the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, MacMedics, and  Hospice of the Chesapeake.  Today... Today's stories run the gamut from major local changes to can't-miss events: the end of a century-old Anne Arundel funeral home chain, new leadership at Annapolis Mall, Southwest's big BWI shifts and how frequent flyers can cushion the impact, plus two classic Annapolis traditions—burning winter socks on the waterfront and a soulful Aretha tribute that supports local musicians. Catch today's DNB for the details and the context you won't get from the headlines alone.
