More Cold Case Reporting?

Looks like former KCPQ reporter James Lynch (no relation) is showcasing a new video franchise on KIRO Radio called 'Cold Cases with James Lynch.'  Madison Wade, recently departed from KING, just had her own 'Unsolved' feature segment.  It's not a new idea but it keeps re-circulating, not exactly sure why except that crime always sells on TV news.  There are far too many other immediate critical issues in this city for reporters to spend time on that have real audience/ community impact, like downtown office vacancies, home prices, consumer fraud, et al.  It's mostly easy repeating of what it already known, and police can hook reporters up with pics, family interviews and known details.  I understand the fascination, the desire for family closure and the process.  But it's been going around anew like a 'flavor of the month.'    Just my opinion.   'You took my sister away': Family pleads for answers in 1999 Holly Park homicide as investiga...

Worse height difference than Holly and Hussion

I thought KOMO morning anchors badly needed their height better equalized on camera. But Fox 13's team of David Rose and Hana Kim is even worse with another poorly composed two-shot.  Is anybody in the control room?  Guess not.   Hana made to look small and subordinate.  It's called "Go tighter.  Get the irrelevant wings out."  Here's KOMO's shot previously posted here, a similarly poor set up, for comparison.   Small individual risers are available.  Operators are standing by. 

Another Seattle TV Refugee has joined Boeing

Nice reader tip, even belatedly, that former KING weekend anchor/reporter Vanessa Misciagna joined Boeing as a media specialist about a year ago... Sorry for the delay.    She was another victim of the Scripps News effort, along with Tatevik Aprikan, who left Fox 13 for Scripps, later marrying K5 anchor Greg Copeland. She joins a long list of ex-KING5-ers who have gone to the aviation giant in PR roles.    Reporters Elisa Hahn, Bernard Choi, Shaniqua Manning, Michael King, Kierra Elfalan, Ted Land...photogs and producers as well.  A lucrative landing spot, indeed, for so many.   Can't even name them all.

Almost a dead heat topping Seattle June Radio

KUOW-FM still wins the month, but the number fell sharply from a 10.1 share in May to 7.4 in June, with KIRO-AM jumping .5 share points to 7.3.  Gotta assume it's World Cup/Seattle games fever!.  In other news, KNKX topped KNWN by a .1 for the second straight month.   KEXP has dropped from a 6.3 in March to a 2.6 in June.   The full chart is here: https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb039 Totals are Persons 6+, Mon-Sun, 6am-midnight This profile contains an quarter hour rating (AQH) share of persons, ages 6+, Monday through Sunday in the Metro Survey Area. A share is the percentage of those listening to radio in the MSA who are listening to a particular radio station.

Top rated Seattle radio gets a new voice

Here's the post on social from David Kroman, who's making the jump from the Seattle Times to a public radio host! "Heads up on a personal update: The next two weeks will be my last at The Seattle Times. Next month, I'll join Libby Denkmann as co-host of KUOW's Soundside. It's a big change that I'm very excited to make, though of course I'm sad to leave the Times."  KUOW has dominated Seattle radio ratings for many, many months.  Kroman is well source-connected in the market.

The Softball Competitors

Who says competitors shouldn't be cordial, even friendly at a charity event?  Niko and Arielle make it happen in Tacoma Sunday! 

Oh Liz. Already an unnecessary post from you.

With the new and harnful parasite circulating around the country, Liz Dueweke, formerly gf KOMO, Fox 13 and the Allen Brain Institute (I know, counter intuitive for her), posts this helpful information, something dietary from her new life in Chicago.  Huh? "You know what's never given me parasitic diarrhea?"  Then she proceeds showing her fave fun foods.  Like we care. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BYAF2oGRn/
