The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the fourth-largest metro in the U.S.

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: New census numbers put the Dallas-Fort Worth area as the second fastest-growing metro area area in the country. Also, how a child might cope with cancer differently than a teenager or an adult who’s survived the disease.

Finally, our Big Screen team talks about the legacy of a man who spawned a generation of cartoon watchers.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
