I must be dumb because I still can't get it to work.
Using the following instead of my previous preg_match_all statement:
preg_match_all("|<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"3\"><b>(.*)</b></font>|i",
$contents, $out);
Gives me only the -last- 3 headlines on
http://www.kinyradio.com/juneaunews/latest_juneau_news.html. I've looked at
the source and there are indeed more matching tags than are being returned.
I've tried placing "r+" in my fopen() statement to put the pointer at the
beginning of the file, but no luck there. I've also tried a bigger filesize
constant in fread(), still nothing.
Actually, I just noticed what the difference is with those last three -
their lines don't break in the source. The other lines have breaks, so the
</b></font> land on the following line. Is there anything I can do to have
preg_match_all 'connect' the lines?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Assuming that the <font> and <b> tags are closed and you want everything in
between then try this:
preg_match_all("|<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"3\"><b>(.*)</b></font>|i",
$contents, $out);

You want to read up on "Pattern Modifiers" and "Pattern Syntax", that's
where
all the regex black magic is explained.
