Per a social media post, KING 5 weather anchor Leah Pezzetti enters into that high pressure area this weekend.  We wish her warm winds.  

On Oct. 5, KVI talk host Ari Hoffman moves to morning drive 6-9.   The station finished 24th with a 1 share last book, so this will change everything, I guess.   Lotus just moved syndicated radio to KNWN from 10-2 so the graph is in decline both sides.

During a sit-down post-season interview with the Seattle Times, owner John Stanton revealed that Mariners TV had 120,000 subscribers this year.  As far as I am aware this is the first time that number has been public.   And the question is, will it decline after this season's disappointment.   Not sure how to quantify streaming data.   BTW, Seattle is market 13 with 2.1 million TV households but those signups could be coming from hither and yon.  Also have seen nothing from KING on viewership and probably won't.   

Rebecca Stevenson sighting on KIRO 7 weather and confirmed.   She will be doing vacation relief and fill-in.  Remember, she was chief met there back in the day, so you CAN go home again!!  Her last Seattle stop was KOMO in late 24.   She worked for me at NWCN. 

Looks likes 'Seattle Red KTTH 770' botched final three outs called by retiring historic PxP announcer Rick Rizzs., according to a social post from KING 5 sports anchor Chris Egan.    From Egan:  "Missed Rick Rizzs final 3 outs on radio because they went to national news on 770am"  But here it is posted ICYMI: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D2Vm1JMRr/ It was on M's TV.

Maybe it was on the Fox Local stream or KZJO but there was no notice or crawl and no linear pre-game on main channel 13 because of baseball running late.  Alyssa Charlston-Smith was also not seen on the sidelines during subsequent UW-Minnesota TV game thru halftime, when we thought that possibly was the plan.  No sideline reporter at all, in fact.   Did I miss something?
