Good morning, New Port Richey, and happy Monday, November 9. It is partly cloudy with a high of 80 and a low of 61, and showers and isolated storms arrive Wednesday. It is also National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day, so we have to ask: where in town do you go for the best fried chicken sandwich?

In the news, a What's What column visits two local groups that work to feed their neighbors: the African American Club of Pasco, with its fish fry fundraiser for an after-school program, and New Port Richey FarmNet, with its annual community dinner. It also points ahead to the FarmNet Sweet Potato Roundup on November 21 at the New Port Richey Public Library.

Today's plans start with a business networking lunch in Trinity, and Double Bogey's Tavern & Grille has a $10.99 Bogey Burger and Fries special until 9 tonight. Breaking Bread BBQ and Sandy's Flavor Station are rolling as food trucks. Tuesday brings Gospel Music Night at Oasis Coffee, and Wednesday is Veterans Day, with a Veterans Roundtable at Patriot Stogies in the morning and the New Port Richey Veterans Day Parade around Orange Lake at 5 PM. Bring a flag and maybe an umbrella!

People spend more time streaming than they do with cable, social media or video games, and advertisers know it. In fact, according to Advertiser Perceptions and Premion's 2026 CTV/OTT Advertiser Survey, 70% of advertisers are raising CTV budgets in 2026, with much of that budget diverted from social advertising.

For marketers who want a presence in streaming, Roku is the obvious place to go, with scale that speaks for itself. With more than 100 million households representing 47% of all streaming time in the US, Roku easily has more reach than every competitor.

With Roku Ads Manager, you can reach viewers across more than 100 premium apps in a single buy. Combine your customer data with Roku's insights to reach only the households you want, then measure and optimize to your heart's content.
