KUOW still first and up a bit for July.   KIRO down almost a point mirroring the Mariners problems.   KIRO-FM down slightly, KNKX and KNWN did better. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb039

I hadn't seen this before and maybe it's been going on for awhile, but 97.3 KIRO-FM mid morning show co-host Ursula Reutin doing relationship advice.  Found it on IG.   It's branded with the station, but what if her advice for someone goes wrong and consequences result?  Is the station responsible?   Just askin'. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbtXlAQj3o1/?igsh=N3I5ZG4zcGxkazl4

  This weekend's big 50th anniversary weekend for the Mariners also produced a new member of the team's Hall of Fame as longtime play-by-play man Rick Rizzs gets the nod for 40+ years behind the home plate mic.  He's already announced this is his last season and wanted to top it off with a World Series, but that is in doubt at this point of the season.   Meanwhile, KIRO 97.3 reporter and commentator Luke Duecy writes that he has to undergo some significant and unexpected surgery near his brain.   He posted his story here: https://mynorthwest.com/kiro-opinion/mri-tumor/4263480 And one more, reporter Shirah Matsuzawa got a shot at the FOX 13+ anchor desk Sunday morning.

 Miracles CAN happen.

In my never ending effort to fully cover the Seattle media waterfront, I can report that Abby Acone of Fox 13 has officially tied the knot this weekend.     Photography: Amazaday
