A Krack in the Kraken Broadcast Team

 


Seattle Kraken bids farewell to a member of it s broadcast team, namely Nick Olczyk.  It's apparently on to the Utah team, new home of the moribund Phoenix Coyotes.    His parting words:

Dear Seattle, Thank you for 2 phenomenal years. The lifelong friends I’ve made, tremendous memories, and being part of an incredible broadcast team are the moments and people I’ll never forget and will always hold close to my heart. To the organization, I’m forever grateful for the opportunity you afforded me to help bring to life the greatest sport in the world to hockey fans all over the globe. To the #SeaKraken fans, your passion and love for your team is something I’ve always admired and I thank you all for your support during my time on your televisions and radios. I’m absolutely thrilled for what’s to come next, thanks for everything Seattle 🙏🏻

Rebecca Stevenson has left KOMO

 "I am no longer at Komo 4." Thanks.  Longtime Weather Anchor Rebecca Stevenson confirms that she left the station just before Christmas.  Her last Facebook posts are 12/17.  She has the Seattle station Quintafecta, having worked at the old NWCN, KING, KIRO, KCPQ and KOMO.  Looks like her decision.  Wants a new chapter.   She was doing mainly weekend evenings for KOMO.  Perhaps Stella Sun will move there.   She has been sharing weekend mornings with Theron Zahn.    

Where is Frankie?

Many have missed KIRO 7's weekend PM weather anchor, Frankie Katafias, so I reached out to some of my sources to find an answer.    She is apparently taking a few months of leave, but not known specifically what the reason may be.  Although there is uncertainty, it could be a personal or family matter.   I am told she is expected back at some point in the new year.  She is a great asset to what has become a troubled station.  Meanwhile former KOIN Portland chief met holds down the fort.

Frankie Flees KIRO7

 UPDATE:  Frankie got married!!! Acting on tips from two of my loyal readers, I see that Weekend Weather Wizard Frankie Katafias is indeed missing from the KIRO 7 website.  Freelancer Scott Haveson filled in this past Sunday and we know that reporter Brandon Thompson has hit the weather wall in the past as a fill-in.   No word on if Frankie fled on her own or was told to.   She came to Seattle in 2022, so maybe it was a three-year deal that ended?
