Stoll Gone, Simms In, For Now?




KOMO called on reporter Ryan Simms to step in for Lee Stoll Sunday, whose last weekend morning show was Saturday.  On a holiday weekend of staffing, hard to know if this is a one-off or the harbinger of a permanent assignment.  Regardless, Theron Zahn and Stella Sun still doing double duty both as co-news anchors and weather wizards.

    Last thing a blogger wants is a reader giving suggestions, (I've blogged for nearly 20 years, so I know), but this orange and black does not really agree with me. I wonder if it could go back to black and white. I'll continue to read it because the content is great, but it is painful.
    Thank you, either way.

      Thanks so much for the feedback. I was trying some templates from Google blogger and liked the font, but really it is a work in progress. I am color blind myself, so that may be the problem. And I love when reader make suggestions and offer their thoughts. I always try to answer, embrace or counter your comments, so keep it up.

    Mike, I moved to a green shade, in honor of The Emerald City. Tell me what you think.

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.
