Mariners return to their 'Roots'



The Seattle Times reports that Root Sports will be its TV home in 2025.  But still $18.50 a month?  Sheesh.  A lot for mediocrity.

    I think MLB is in denial. Those of us who can remember when everything pretty much stopped during World Series time. Now, I wonder if the World Series ratings top the exhibition NFL games. Mariners are trying to sell hope, but I wonder how long that will last.

    World Series ratings were down some this year, but with NYC and LA they did just fine. Baseball is still hard to watch with as much inaction as action. I did not pay for the Mariners this year and won't next year. They will have to go to direct to consumer at some point. Even in MLB produces the games next season, ROOT will still distribute. Aaron Goldsmith will likely be the TV voice with Blowers, but unsure of who replaces Aaron on radio. Probably a Mariners decision. I wonder what Scott Servais will be doing. Have not heard anything about his future yet.

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.
