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.

They will tell stories about the victims of crime, the lives they lead, the heart warming yet sad blah blah blah. Instead of doing investigative journalism and push the authorities for more transparency.
ReplyDeleteThat s not a new idea, but I wonder if it KING trying to counter KOMO
ReplyDeletes Project Seattle which showcases in alarmist copy and narration, the latest crime stories. See Jeremy Harris, IMHO. New ND coming to KOMO so KING is going to give him something to think about.
I won't hold me breath until Seattle tv news does real investigative journalism.
