Not a good look for this Seattle TV crew

 


Reposting this courtesy of my friends at ftvlive.com.  A KIRO 7 crew covering the aftermath of a stabbing in Marysville, WA, was far too aggressive for this woman as they pressed her for an interview.  Looks like the reporter standing next to the action is Jason Sloss.

  1. Seeing as Jason has remained on-air since this release, tells me he is NOT the employee in question, the photographer is. In the video we see the reporter is quiet, he doesn't say anything - he walks away, honoring the request of the business. The photographer stays behind and says this: "Wow. I’m going to try to remember when I go to renew my State Farm … I really appreciate how nice you guys have been, thank you. I’ll remember how you guys treated me. Thank you," and then he walks away. Interesting how the ladies video doesn’t show what led up to that. 🤨 It's clear the reporter didn't do anything wrong - he respected the wishes of the business. Not sure how management will react to the photographer though. It does not come across as bullying, to me - more like the photographer is reacting to how they treated him. A quick, childish reaction, no doubt but firing sounds harsh. A weeks suspension, maybe. Just my opinion.

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.
