Have no fears, Kim's offiicially at The Spheres!


We have a new pic below (well, better late than never on this one) of former Evening Magazine co-host Kim Holcomb at her new corporate communications job at Amazon:

"I've started the next phase of my career...at Amazon.  I'm supporting their incredible Global Sustainability and Community Impact work -- two things I care about deeply.   I am over the moon!  Truthfully, it was scary to step away from a 25+ year career, but now that I am on the other side, I'm so proud I didn't let fear dictate my decision."    Kim is yet another former King5 staffer who left for Amazon.  I believe Meg Coyle was the first, then investigative chief Kellie Cheadle (who has since left), Lindsay Sieverkropp and Mark Erskine ( he has left as well), Holcomb's former bosses at Evening.

  1. Global Sustainability and Community Impact. Sounds like some made up BS and that group at Amazon will have to draw up charts, graphs and PowerPoint presentations on a regular basis to justify the team's existence.

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.
