New set first look, wide shot

I suppose the big tests of the new Denny Triangle digs and studio were technical and production on Fox 13's first newscast Saturday night but on a wide shot you could see a wider-ranging studio circular wall alignment which looks good along with a clear-topped desk upgrade and large interview area lower left.   We shall see how they use the big wall.  No changes in the weather area so far, but forecast was clearly taped ahead by Claire. Everything seemed to work just fine. No hitches.  Maybe more to see tomorrow night and next week to showcase the environs.  Some day-old news didn't help the hype.

Be on the lookout Saturday night

Confirmed - new Fox 13 news set in its new Denny Triangle digs will debut tonight.  That gives the show a good dry run with weak lead-ins and a shakedown real-time with less exposure.   Sunday late news follows Fox's strong prime-time lineup with shows  like The Simpsons and should shine a bit more for more eyeballs.  Will we see: A. Virtual Reality Set? B. Huge monitor wall? C. Brick and mortar desk type construction?  D. PNW scenics?  E. All of the above?

You CAN go home again at this Seattle TV

Kellie Cheadle, who left KING a decade or so ago to become an Amazonian, which didn't work out, is returning to the station.  She ran The Investigators unit there for years and is likely returning to that job after lead investigator Susannah Frame became News Director and the regional news VP got booted by Tegna.  That unit has not been as award-winning after losing Frame and Taylor Mirferendeski   Kellie to the rescue?

Bonneville goes Top 5

Seattle radio ratings are out for October and both Bonneville properties are in the top 5, KIRO 710 at #2 and KIRO-FM jumping from a double digit standing last month to #5.  The AM stayed in second place but dropped .7 while FM rose .8.     KNWN sank lower dropping to a 2.8. KUOW leads the pack as usual with a flat book, which seemed a bit surprising in the election cycle.   Sort out the numbers for youselves. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb039

Self-care for KIRO's Nick Allard

Morning met Nick Allard posted this on social media: "You've probably noticed I'm not on the air at the moment. I've been overwhelmed by how many of you have reached out, and it means more than I can say. I'm taking some time to be with my family and take care of myself. Thank you for understanding, and for supporting the KIRO team while I'm away. I'll see you soon. - Nick"  Nick worked for me for several years at NWCN before joining KGW in Portland and then on to KIRO in 2015.   He's one of the good guys! Rebecca Stevenson, who has rejoined KIRO, will presumably help to hold the fort.
