Good Morning! On this day in 1920, Pittsburgh’s KDKA made the first commercial radio broadcast, reading Harding-Cox presidential election returns to about 1,000 listeners from a makeshift shack atop a Westinghouse building in East Pittsburgh.

Upper Dauphin Area’s marching band won a state championship Saturday and came home to a hero’s welcome. See more in Et Cetera. Did your hometown ever turn out to welcome home a winning team? Hit reply and tell us.

The clocks fell back this weekend, and almost nobody is happy about it. But ending the time change is harder than it sounds. America tried going without it once, and what happened that winter turned the whole country around in a matter of weeks. Fifty years later, the fight is back on, so how did we end up changing our clocks in the first place, and is this the year it finally stops? On today’s episode of Flyover Focus, we dig into the strange history of Daylight Saving Time, the 1974 experiment that changed everything, and the three ways this could all end. Tune in here!

Today’s sponsor, RAD Intel, builds and acquires businesses powered by its proprietary AI, with more than 30,000 shareholders and a portfolio that has signed over 200 enterprise contracts in 2026—explore its investment offering today.

Free Colon Screenings Starting at 45

Pennsylvanians with state-regulated health plans, including those bought on the Affordable Care Act marketplace, will get colon cancer screenings at no cost starting at 45 instead of 50 under a new law that takes effect in December and will cover most state-regulated plans by 2028.

The change replaces coverage rules based on 2008 cancer guidelines. The American Cancer Society lowered its recommended screening age to 45 in 2018.

About 6,900 Pennsylvanians are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year, and about 2,600 die from it, according to the Pennsylvania Cancer Coalition.

The bill was championed by state Rep. Pat Gallagher, D, Philadelphia, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at 45.

Halloween Night Turns Violent

Two people were killed and five others hurt, including three teenagers, in six shootings across Philadelphia between Halloween night and early Sunday, police said.

A 15-year-old boy was killed after a group of teens got into an argument with a 40-year-old man at a Port Richmond gas station, and the man was arrested shortly after, police said.

In Pittsburgh, a man was critically hurt in a stabbing on the South Side late Saturday, the second there in as many nights, and no arrests have been made.

The first followed a fight inside Capo’s bar on East Carson Street, and a city councilman and several South Side businesses are asking the district attorney to seek its court-ordered closure.

Toys”R”Us Returns to Pennsylvania

Toys”R”Us is coming to Tanger Outlets Lancaster in time for the holidays, the outlet center announced, though no opening date has been set.

It’s one of at least 21 Pennsylvania locations in a 120-store holiday comeback that will bring the chain to 160 standalone stores nationwide.

Some, including the new store at Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, are seasonal holiday shops that will stay open into early 2027.

It’s a long road back for the chain, which filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and closed more than 700 stores the following year.
