News anchors David Rose and Sabirah Radford hosted the Fox 13 Seafair Fireworks show after stealing the coverage from KIRO in a new three-year deal. I think they are anchoring from the roof of 13 on Westlake instead of at Gas Works. Bland background. No energy. Over graphiced. #4 weather person in the field. I would have used Garcia and Erin on the desk....more personality. Abby in the crowd. David was miscast. He's a serious anchor, not a fanboy hoop-dee-doo type. Music and fireworks were old hat for a 250th. Nothing meaningful. It was supposed to be special this year...new station, new excitement. Nope. I found it all weak overall compared to KING and KIRO shows in the past. Better luck next time with stronger show planning.
KUNS was planning a Seattle Storm pre-game show with Sports Director Niko Tamurian and, I believe, Michelle Esteban, but a rain delay at a CW nationally televised NASCAR event bumped it on the holiday. Race resumed at 530 pm when the pregame was to start. Surprised they didn't move it to the second half hour of KOMO news at 5.
