EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: A KING at #1 KUOW

As KUOW's #1 ratings hot streak continues unabated, I am proud and pleased to present a timely interview with Angela King, talented news anchor for it's popular Morning Edition (5:30-9 a.m.).  Previously, Angela worked in Seattle TV (including for me at NWCN) and she is an Emmy and Gracie Award winner.   And here's some breaking news:  She will be inducted into the University of Washington's Communications Hall of Fame this year.  Not to mention she recently won the university's prestigious Charles E.

Nikki comes back, but where is Jason

Word that Nikki Torres, reporter and weather anchor at Fox 13, is back on the air after a leave of some sort.   Meanwhile, have watched KIRO weekends for the last few weeks and I see Eric Thomas anchoring, but no sign of Jason Sloss, who anchored those shows for a couple of months.   Anyone have intel?  Maybe he is on family leave for awhile.  His bio and pic are still on the Meet the Team page at KIRO7.
