Lee Stoll, former weekend morning news anchor at KOMO, has landed in a new business after a short stint at Amazon.  Here's her post: "Hi friends! Thanks for sticking with me all these years. I wanted to let you know I have a new job that will fulfill a lifelong dream! I'm so excited to announce that I have joined Windermere Real Estate as a broker. Like journalism, real estate has always carried a real sense of community service for me. As a military kid, I watched my mom transform more than 17-houses into homes. Now it's my turn to help others do the same! Websites and socials are "under construction" (like changing the name of this page to BROKER!) but you can always find me at lee.stoll@windermere.com." Hearing that ex KOMO sports director Mike Ferreri is doing well in the broker biz, also with Windermere.

What would the media landscape look like if and when the Sonics return on a couple of years?  QUESTIONS. Would KING sacrifice the Kraken to put the Sonics on KING and KONG?  Yes, but not exactly.   Hockey could go on the K5 streaming app, with.Sonics on broadcast, both stations, especially with NBC/NBA deal?  But might Fox 13 go hockey on the duopoly if it comes open?   Actually, I would expect a KING/Sonics partnership.   Bring Kevin Calabro back for TV play by play with Gary Payton or Detlef as analysts.   I could also put Detlef on pre-game and weekly studio shows possibly with Kemp.   George Karl on Zoom if he's well?  97.3 vs KJR for radio.   KIRO has the history with simulcasts.  But who does PxP?  Can't waste Calabro on radio.   Looking for your thoughts.  Everything could be different in two years on all platforms.  So what's in your crystal ball?

  KING weekend evening anchor Madison Wade seems to be favoring hair over strong eye contact.  Guess no one is coaching her on look and presentation

I guess KING 5 viewers really crave the two morning anchors exercising.  It makes such a difference for us knowing the latest news.  At least it's on their own post, but didn't know that was their job, to help us with fitness.  I couldn't see Enerson and Bounds doing this, can you? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DExbmwrRrYF/?igsh=MWRpY2xnc3RkazFybg==

Looks like Fox 13 Seattle weekend morning anchor Taylor Winkel has joined her co-anchor Abby Acone for these bizarre posts done in the station studio.     What's the purpose? Where's the maturity and credibility?   The limp-wrist stuff is offensive to just about everyone, yes?  It's not funny. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVowliOEoj2/?igsh=ZWk3bWdwMmFobDU=

  Sources tell me that KING 5 is close to announcing a 12-15 game package of Mariners games on free TV.  Stay tuned for final confirmation near Opening Day.  Book it. You heard it here first.r Meanwhile, Apple TV has two Mariners national games in first half of season, first vs Houston in late March, and later vs Buccos.
