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.

Slicing Staff in Seattle TV

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                                                     ...

Major 'Evening' Departure in Seattle

  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 l...

Seattle Cops Chief of Staff Collateral Damage?

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
