Union Decertification at a Seattle TV

Our friends at ftvlive.com report that KOMO talent is trying to decertify SGA-AFTRA.  Also have a story from Publicola. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2026/8/13/komo-talent-vote-on-union-representation     Here's more from Publicola: On August 12, the reporters, anchors, and other on-air staff at KOMO TV, a station owned by the conservative media company Sinclair, are scheduled vote on a proposal to leave their union, the Screenwriters Guild/ American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The action, known as a decertification petition, was filed with the National Labor Relations Board last month, with reporter Jeremy Harris submitting the paperwork. The group of KOMO staffers who want to leave the union is represented by the National Right to Work Foundation, a national anti-union organization. It would be easy enough to characterize Sinclair staffers as anti-union activists politically aligned with their bosses and a controversial national anti-labo...

A Scintillating Seattle TV Sneak Preview

I appreciate this tip from one of my loyal readers, letting me know Fox 13 Seattle posted a web story and pictures of their new facility scheduled to open in November.  Apparently David Rose got an early tour, which is nice since he failed to show up as lead anchor at the 'Bite of Seattle' shooting.  The layout is similar to KING's 'under one roof' design of 2016.  The story says it will mean better access to 'regional' news stories.   Uh huh.  Sure.  Regional?  Better than being on Westlake??  But the big question is will Met Abby Acone stop doing offensive Instagram posts about sexuality in the new studio?    As they say in TV, 'only time will tell.'   BTW, this will leave KIRO with the absolute WORST newsroom in Seattle TV and I douby Apollo/Cox cares.   Unless they have rehabbed it, it is a rabbit warren. https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/fox-13-seattle-downtown-seattle-move

The scoop on the Wilson Recall bid?

Hearing from a good source that KUOW-FM broke the recall story on Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson simply by calling the election office every day to see if anyone filed.   Good leg work.   The petitioners are apparently an elderly couple from North Seattle.   

Brock gets his TV Break on Seattle Cable

Hired Brock Huard in the 2005 Super Bowl season to co-host a brand new call-in post game talk show after the Seahawks game ended on the networks.  Called The Fone Zone.  Big success with him and Chris Egan and he soon parlayed it into bigger and better things nationally after several years.  From Brock on social:  'Thank you NWCN & ⁦@ChrisEgan5⁩ for the opportunity."  

Seattle TV loses Executive Producer

I may be a little late on this one, but KING's Evening EP, Meghan Stewart has departed her position with no word on what's next.  Apparently, her husband, Chris Smith, who worked in Marketing there, is also gone.  No update.
