Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning. Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next. Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management. Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate. I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck. Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home.

If Daniels really does want a job with the Sonics if and when they return, that ought to make KOMO finally take Niko seriously as their sports director as Daniels would have one foot out the door while Niko doesn't.

ReplyDeleteNiko told me after this posted that he loves working with Chris, who is his friend and mentor. He says they are a team to make KOMO the best. Even teaming with morning news anchor Kelly Koopmans on the Storm pre-game show a while back does't bother him. Same answer. OK, I hear ya. I will say this, if it was me, I would be pushing hard to go solo.
DeleteI'm glad to hear that Niko seems to be okay with his place at KOMO. Things may look like they aren't right to us viewers, but if he and KOMO are satisfied, then that should be taken as a good thing. I wish Niko all the best in his continued time at KOMO, and hope he sticks around for many years to come. I also wish Daniels all the best, regardless of the path he ultimately goes down. We are better off for having both of them around covering the sports beat.
DeleteBTW there was a Storm game Sunday at 3 folowing ABC hockey, so no prre-game and halftime was done at the arena with the booth announcers. No Niko.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. The Storm season is far from over, so there should be more opportunities for Niko and KOMO to shine in the werks ahead.
