The David Muir Overkill on ABC



In just the first 4:40 of the Thursday night newscast on ABC, anchor David Muir uses the word TONIGHT 20 times.  I gave up after that.   Just awful writing.   Ridiculous.  And then him driving thru neighborhoods relating the obvious.  Vanity, thy name is MUIR.  He is in every single shot.  It's not about him, but don't let that stand in the way, big Dave.   Let the pictures tell the story without you.

    Tonight is such an anchor cliche, but for David, it seems to work "muir"acles.

    Has long been consultant speak for anchors, but Muir has taken it to the 10th power.

    Makes you think what his voicemail is like: "You've reached David Mur, anchor and managing editor of ABC's "World News Tonight". I am not available tonight, but will call you back if nothing else is breaking tonight. Thank you and have a nice night."

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.
