UPDATE: HE'S BACK! Posting this to help Brian Calvert of KNWN find missing son

  "This is an extremely heart-wrenching and personal thing to share, but I need your help. My son ran away from home Wednesday after a tumultuous summer of mental health issues.  He ran with a girl his age; she was found in Gresham, Oregon late Thursday night after separating from him. My friends in the Portland Metro area, can you please share his pictures?  My heart is breaking.  I need your help." 

Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning.  Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next.  Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management.  Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate.    I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck.  

The unions are officially out!

BALTIMORE, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sinclair today issued the following statement regarding an employee-led vote by KOMO 4 on-air employees in Seattle to determine whether they would continue to be represented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). KOMO anchors and reporters voted to end SAG-AFTRA representation, following a decertification petition filed with the National Labor Relations Board in July. Following completion of the NLRB process, SAG-AFTRA will no longer serve as the exclusive bargaining representative for employees in the unit. Sinclair strives to be the employer of choice in every market we serve, and we believe this decision reflects the trust and strong working relationship we have built with our employees. Our employees are the heart of our company, and we value their commitment, contributions and dedication to serving the Seattle community. Same memo went out for the photog union which decertified.

This Seattle radio keeps Kraken the Ice!

Per social media just in: "A winning partnership continues!  " The @SeattleKraken and @933KJR through @iHeartMedia Seattle have announced a multi-year extension of their broadcast partnership."  I have to add as a personal opinion that listening to hockey on radio is very very difficult unless you're watching the TV broadcast at the same time.

Roger that, Chris!

KOMO Senior reporter Chris Daniels gets a word with NFL Commish Roger Goodell on the day the league approves the sale of the Seahawks.   This is one of those cases where having Daniels covering the business side pays dividends.   The NFL knows him to be credible and aggressive.
