On August 2024, a disagreement between Bloomington, Normal, and McLean County intensified regarding the allocation of shared sales tax revenue for mental health and public safety initiatives. Later in August 2024, Normal Mayor Chris Koos and County Board Chair Elizabeth Johnston exchanged letters expressing differing viewpoints on the matter. In an unrelated matter, on an unspecified date in September 2024, Senator Dick Durbin met with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to discuss the effects of the Rescissions Act of 2025, which impacted funding for public media outlets, including WGLT. Also in September 2024, WGLT reported that State Farm announced a voluntary exit program for employees. State Farm later clarified in an email obtained by WGLT that while the company would prioritize voluntary staff reductions, layoffs remained a possibility. Finally, in the fall of 2024, WGLT welcomed eleven student interns, six returning and five new, to contribute to its programming.
