Dad watches Seattle TV Daughter at a live shot????


Yes, while KOMO's Stella Sun was covering a major fire in Tacoma, her dad joined her at her live shot.  Really?

    “Really?” seems like a mean-spirited comment. It’s a sweet moment. Not like he was interviewed.

      Brian a solid news reporter doesn't put him/herself in front of a story. What if a firemen died or sometone else died. WIll she do the same after covering a double homicide?? It is embarrassing and inappropriate. Her boss should call her out. She's a rookie, acting like it.
      Cover the story, save the selfies for your dad.

      Wayne, that’s the tweet, not the story. I’m sure if the story had more gravity and actual lives were lost, she probably wouldn’t be tweeting photos of her smiling. Again, this is not her work product. I’m grateful when the on-air talent share a different aspect of their lives.

    The picture looks real sweet. Even though it comes amid a catastrophe, they both photograph well.

    It would have been in better taste if dad was pictured with her in a studio. Now I can see why it is inappropriate. I don't see evidence that TV news standards are going up, perhaps because I rarely watch local TV news.

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.

Seattle TV Weekender Ends Her Run

  So long to KOMO's longtime weekend morning anchor Lee Stoll who did her final show Saturday.  She previously worked at KIRO7 and KREM2 in Spokane and did a little fill-in for me at the old NWCN.  She's a Northwestern U grad.   Weekend weather sidekick Theron Zahn will likely step right into anchor slot.  Newcomer Stella Sun may also be in the mix.  Zahn bid Lee a final goodbye this morning.  She is not revealing what is next, saying "That's for later." Also, next month Komo News Operations boss Dennis Hanson and longtime Production Tech Rena Mullen are retiring. There's a big Studio C station bash for them and retiring ND Phil Bruce on December 5th.

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.
