Trailblazers need to dig a little deeper on TV





Could barely believe my eyes watching the Portland Trailblazers pre-game show on CW.  The cheapest looking studio set I have seen in a long time.   Neal Everett, ex ESPN anchor who co-hosts the show, should ask the team or Toyota for a new paint job.  Not to mention the abysmal color.  Is that Barbie pink?   Look above to second O and second T in Toyota and the blue element below it to see white spots. Or chips.

Expand your screen to get the full fiasco.  Yikes.

    And the Trail Blazer fanbase may shrink in a few years, if Seattle has an expansion team granted as most are predicting will happen.

    In the past, having two NBA teams in the Pacific Northwest has spurred competition as both won crowns in the 70s and both made the finals in the 90s. How it translates to today's sports marketing strategies is a big question mark.

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.
