Reggae, Blink 182 and a TV Trivia Streak on the Line: Today's Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 is packed with holidays worth celebrating, and weatherman Jerry Steffen brought a couple of TV themed trivia questions to test the newsroom, and you, at home.

The day kicks off with International Reggae Day, a celebration founded in Jamaica in 1994 to honor the rich musical genre that developed on the island in the 1960s. Dust off your Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, UB40 and Sean Paul for this one.

It's also International Blink 182 Day, marking the anniversary of the alt punk rock band that got its start in San Diego County back in 1992. The date lines up perfectly, since July 1st is the 182nd day of the year. Fun fact, the band was originally just called Blink, but had to add the 182 after their label pushed them to change the name.

Rounding out the holidays, July 1st is also National Television Heritage Day, a day to honor the cultural and technological milestones of television. That theme carried right into the pop quiz, with two TV related questions putting the newsroom's trivia streak to the test.
