Good morning, New Port Richey! The clocks fell back an hour overnight, so enjoy the extra sleep if you got it. It's also National Calzone Day, so settle this for us: calzone or pizza slice? Today is mostly cloudy with a high of 80 and numerous showers and scattered storms, so keep an umbrella close. The wet weather is expected to hang around into Monday.

In the news, What's What New Port Richey's November Helping Hands guide lists food pantries, mobile distributions and volunteer openings across west Pasco. Pasco Audubon leads birding hikes on the first Saturday of every month at Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park, and Pasco Schools says Friday's Mitchell versus River Ridge rivalry game closed out the regular football season in front of a packed stadium.

There is plenty to do between raindrops. Run with the Bobcats 5K starts at 8 AM at PHSC West Campus, the Indoor Vendor Market fills the Quality Inn from 10 AM to 2 PM, and costumed paddlers launch from Sims Park at 11 AM for the Witches and Warlock Paddle. Family Fun Night runs 4 to 7 PM at Waterfront Park, Kingpin plays Sam's Hudson Beach Bar until 7 PM, and four food trucks are rolling today. Grab your umbrella and a calzone, and go enjoy your Sunday!

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.
