Kraken TV ratings soft so far?


 

Listened to part of the podcast 'Inside the Arena' with KOMO sports director Nico Tamurian and Senior Reporter Chris "I wish I was a sportscaster" Daniels.  Daniels said broadcast TV ratings on 'linear' KING/KONG hav not been good so far for pre-season telecasts.  Of course, pre-season hockey is not much of a draw in early fall compared to all the other sports cooking right now.  It's early.   Daniels likely has access to the overnight ratings provided to the sales dept.    You can hear his comments for yourself  about 10 minutes or so in.

    This podcast is rated "U" for Unlistenable. Sorry, not sorry.

    You are correct. I just don't get Daniels' obsession with being a sports guy. There are so many untold stories on the news side and he is in bed with Harrell and the council and lawyers. SO much for being a senior reporter.

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.

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.
