The Business News Headlines 21 October 2026

Meta gets hit with a multi-billion dollar judgement and that is where we'll start this evening. This is the Business News Headlines for Wednesday the 21st day of October, thank you for being with us. In other news, a First Nation Tribe in Canada is going high tech to preserve their heritage. More AI trouble as governments shut down websites. Some news from my home town: Detroit will get a much needed facelift and we’ll share that story. It’s not just gas and groceries that is expensive…how about child care? We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and a gaming company to close down a factory and layoff some 400 people.

Thanks for listening!
