Self-care for KIRO's Nick Allard

Morning met Nick Allard posted this on social media: "You've probably noticed I'm not on the air at the moment. I've been overwhelmed by how many of you have reached out, and it means more than I can say. I'm taking some time to be with my family and take care of myself. Thank you for understanding, and for supporting the KIRO team while I'm away. I'll see you soon. - Nick"  Nick worked for me for several years at NWCN before joining KGW in Portland and then on to KIRO in 2015.   He's one of the good guys! Rebecca Stevenson, who has rejoined KIRO, will presumably help to hold the fort.

When will the new Station Debut?

We are all waiting with bated breath on the new look newscasts in the new downtown Seattle building  for Fox 13!   We are?  Well, sure, hearing that it's all supposed to debut this coming weekend, but not sure yet what newscasts.  My guess would be Sunday at 10 pm.  They might test it on the weekend morning on KZJO, who knows?  Always good to do a test run.    I expect a full video tour, too.   Set your DVR.  I'll have a review ASAP.

Which PNW TVs get the most YouTube views?

Found an interesting survey running from last Sunday, Oct. 25 through tomorrow, ranking the top 100 local stations with the most YouTube views.  Fox 13 is the highest in the PNW with KGW and KING following.  Might be surprised about KOMO and KIRO.    L.A. stations vie for the lead, but there are some surprise markets doing well in the top 10. Take a peek.  There will be a quiz. https://pizettanewstracker.com/weekly-top-100

New role for this reporter

KING 5 reporter/fill-in weather anchor Savannah Welch posts on social that she is the new weekend morning meteorologist there.  We'll have to see how this affects the role of Leah Pezzetti, who's been doing a.m. traffic lately for Sumpter and weather on wkds.  It's maybe positioning Leah on mornings to replace Marriott come 27?
