I must be late to this party, but I watched the 4th game of the NBA Western Finals on Sunday night on KING and who turns up after?  Ryan Rowland-Smith with a show called The Top Step and a guest from the Ms pitching staff.  Playing catch-up. 

I criticized KING reporter Sebastian Robertson for his casual crew neck tee apparel on a probable child murder story the other evening. (scroll the site).  He provided an exclusive follow up on Friday and presented himself as authoritative, smart and professional.  Kudos.  That's how you do it.  

  Take a peek, if you dare learning about vampires, who will be coming to Seattle in the sequel, feauring Golden Garden, the old KINGDOME and other locations, narrative currently under construction. Feedback, please, good or bad.  https://waynelynchbooks.com/

Who knew that KING5 sports anchor Chris Egan could officiate at a wedding?  He's helping former anchor colleague Madison Wade get hitched Saturday, featuring Weather Wizard Leah Pezzetti as a bridesmaid.  Wade is relocating to be with her husband.  Mr. Egan posts this is his first ceremony:  There's even a celebratory bobblehead!! "Beyond honored and also a little nervous as the @KING5Seattle weekend team reunites this Saturday!!! @madisoncwade getting married, @leahpezzetti is one of the bridesmaids, and I'm officiating the wedding!!! My first wedding, any advice ???"  Speaking of relocation, one of our loyal readers sent along this picture of married couple and former KING reporters Maddie White and Drew Andre, who now work at KPIX, the CBS O&O in San Francisco.

This news courtesy of ex-colleague Kim Holcomb at KING 5. Angela Poe Russell was once a main evening anchor at KIRO, later co-hosted a failed 4pm show at KING for awhile, ended up on Evening at K5 for a spell and now sometimes fills in on 97.3 radio.  Her new play has debuted!  Kudos.  "Is there any better than watching someone you adore achieve a dream? ✨ When Angela Poe Russell sets her mind to something, amazing things happen. Three years ago she told me she was going to write a musical. It’s now playing at Seattle Public Theater - and tickets are selling out! If you want to feel inspired, laugh, cry, and dance in your seat, go see Aviatrix." 

97.3 KIRO FM becomes an ABC affiliate Friday. You heard it here first.   Bye bye to the Eye.
