This is why Komo News is so bad and desperate. They show a live shot of empty Lumen to lead to Niko taking about Cooper Kupp presser. Brilliant decision making. Journalism at its best. Lazy producing.
"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.
This was a poor choice by a producer to take this shot leading into the segment, but I wouldn’t go as far to call KOMO “bad and desperate”. It should be noted that KOMO is the market leader in ratings, despite what others may advertise. And, no, I do not nor have I ever worked for that station.
ReplyDeleteUsing a live shot of an empty stadium has nothing to do with ratings. They constantly do it with a live shot of the White House and Capitol. It's a producer trick to build pace, but it's tired and stale and the oldest trick in the book. They are probably number one because of their Sinclair 'tear down the cities and schools' agenda, which is popular in other Sinclair markets. That's the truth.
