FOX 9's The Afternoon Shift — hosted by Adam Llorens and Maxx Fuller — covers the day’s top news stories from Minnesota and beyond with curiosity, conversation, and a touch of comedy. As Target employees face tense days waiting to learn if they’re impacted by major layoffs, we look at the psychology behind job uncertainty and what power workers really have when it comes to parting ways with the company. We also talk with the former superintendent of Glacier National Park about how national parks prepare for and survive a government shutdown that’s now stretching close to a month. Are visitors and the animals that call the parks home safe during these uncertain times? Plus, it’s a sports equinox! Baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, and football all in action today — we’ve got your Vikings updates and a chat with the co-founder of Fan Girl Clothing, a sports swag company designed by women for women. Updates on Carson Wentz's season-ending surgery and Anthony Edwards and what it means for the season ahead for Timberwolves.
