KOMO continues to Decline or is it Deklein?


Sure it's one typo, but the post on X has had multiple comments, including one of my own, and it remains uncorrected and laughable.   KOMO's content is sub-standard already.  They don't need flubs like this.  FEELING police????

    Again, proofreading is just not done anymore.

    KING 5 -- PLEASE! I felt like calling KING 5's Brady Wakayama about this story he posted online. A glitch or two in the phrasing or spelling had me boiling. ENOUGH! Do they care so little? I have a link to the printed PDF version, in case they go back to correct a story that was posted nearly 24 hours ago. What am I seeing? Does the way this was written bother anyone else? You started this, Wayne. Now I am hyper-sensitive to this, dammit. https://qzvx.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/KING-5-no-proof-reading.pdf

    @KING5Seattle @BradyWakayama
    Do a word-search on this article for the word "live" and ask yourself why that word is there rather than the word "leave". Have TV station news people given up on proof-reading? This happens all too often.

    Minor complaint maybe? But, I think Ed Asner's Lou Grant character would be just as upset.

    Like you, i am a stickler for grammar and spelling, and when I taught at UW, I was up close and personal by young people who text slop and don't care about how they present themselves. Not to mention, I used to read scripts for KING and corrected a lot. I cannot imagine how bad it is now.

    And then I have people calling out errors and omissions on my blog. Fair is fair.

Slicing Staff in Seattle TV

Image
ICYMI, it appears COX-APOLLO owned KIRO7 in Seattle has cut almost a dozen staff as cutbacks across the company reportedly continue.   The only names confirmed so far are Sports DIrector Chris Francis, son of longtime NBC correspondent Fred Francis, and his producer, Chris Swanson, who formerly worked for me at the old Northwest Cable News.  No word on how KIRO will cover sports in the market going forward, with the Mariners leading the AL West, the Seahawks and UW football coming soon, not to mention the Kraken's fourth hockey season.  Gonna be interesting to watch.   I already notice  KOMO's weekend news, where the news anchor reads just a minute or two of sports.  Nico Tamurian is the station's only sports reporter/anchor right now.  Courtesy: ftvlive.com                                                                       Chris Francis                                                                    Nico Tamurian

Seattle Cops Chief of Staff Collateral Damage?

Image
Wondering what the future is for Jamie Tompkins, the former Fox 13 anchor whom Seattle Top Cop Adrian Diaz strangely made of Chief of Staff? Will she survive his demotion? Their rumored but later debunked romantic liaison didn't help with the suits he and the dept. now face, even with his recent coming out. You may remember it all started with her ride-along with the Diaz a while back. Later, he hired her to a big communications job with the PD, and then Chief of Staff, with ZERO law enforcement experience. Next move, Interim Chief Sue Rahr? Collateral damage? https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/behind-the-badge-get-to-know-seattle-police-interim-chief-adrian-diaz

Major 'Evening' Departure in Seattle

Image
  After 18 years, KING 5's Evening Magazine co-host Kim Holcomb is not renewing her contract with the station, and her last day is July 24th, just as the program goes on hiatus during the Olympics.   Kim is married to former KING/NWCN reporter.anchor Rob Piercy who works for the Paul Allen Brain Institute in media relations.  No word on what's next.  Here's is her goodbye message. "It feels surreal to post this but I’m making a major life change: I’ve decided to not renew my contract and I’m leaving KING & Evening. I’m so proud of everything I’ve accomplished during my almost 18 years at the station, and I’m eternally grateful for every viewer who’s watched and supported our show. But, a lot has changed in the past 1.5 years and I feel like it’s time to step away, move forward and try something different (which sounds like a weird jig but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.) I’m not sure what comes next, but I’m thrilled to find out! Thanks for being a part of my little life. &q
