Not sure exactly what this means in Seattle TV news




Heee's a post from one of KING 5's morning anchors.  What does it mean?   Don't know, but I will keep watch, for sure.   Check the link to see the cryptic comment.

  1. 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.

  2. That s not a new idea, but I wonder if it KING trying to counter KOMO
    s 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.

  3. I won't hold me breath until Seattle tv news does real investigative journalism.

  4. KING's Susannah Frame, Chris Ingalls, and Taylor Mirferendeski are the best in town and have been for years. Have you not seen their work at all?

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.
