Good Morning! On this day in 1920, Ohio U.S. Sen. Warren G. Harding was elected president on his 55th birthday, defeating fellow Ohioan and sitting Gov. James M. Cox.

🏀 A dozen of Ohio’s Division I men’s basketball programs tip off their seasons tonight, including Cincinnati’s first game under coach Jerrod Calhoun. Find the full preview in Top Stories.

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.

Bill Targets Doxxing of Ohio Police

Posting a police officer’s home address, birth date, or phone number to intimidate, threaten, or cause physical harm would become a third-degree felony under a new Statehouse bill.

State Rep. Gayle Manning, R-North Ridgeville, introduced the measure after a Lorain police officer faced nationwide online backlash despite being cleared of wrongdoing.

Violators could face up to a $10,000 fine, probation, or prison time. Manning said the bill targets malicious doxxing and harassment, not routine reporting or free speech.

With the legislative session winding down, she plans to reintroduce the bipartisan bill next session if it doesn’t pass this year.

Short North Church Hits the Market

All Nations Christian Fellowship’s church in Columbus’ Short North has hit the market for nearly $1.4 million as a redevelopment opportunity.

The three-story, 12,670-square-foot building at 43 W. Fourth Ave. features a large sanctuary, a commercial kitchen, offices, and multipurpose rooms. You can view photos of the property here.

It’s one of several Columbus churches that have been put on the market. Livingston United Methodist Church sold its 1.9-acre property near downtown to Nationwide Children’s Hospital for $7.3 million, and two University District United Methodist churches are also listed.

Ohio College Hoops Season Tips Off

A dozen of Ohio’s Division I men’s basketball programs tip off their seasons tonight, with a ranked test for Ohio State and a coaching debut for Cincinnati. Division I women’s basketball also gets underway for many of the state’s top programs.

Ohio State faces No. 25 BYU tonight in Salt Lake City, fresh off its first NCAA Tournament trip since 2022. Freshman Anthony Thompson is the program’s highest-rated recruit since Jared Sullinger.

Cincinnati opens the Jerrod Calhoun era against American at Fifth Third Arena. The Bearcats rank No. 31 in KenPom’s preseason ratings.

Xavier, picked sixth in the Big East, hosts Mount St. Mary’s, while Dayton welcomes NJIT behind 7-foot-1 Amaël L’Etang, the tallest player in program history.

Miami, the preseason MAC favorite, opens at James Madison coming off a 31-0 regular season and a First Four win over SMU.
