Ok off topic but...



McDonald's revenue was down 3.6 per cent Jan-March.  Is that a Quarter Flounder???  I'm here all week.

    I'd say it is! And if for some reason is not, it's a quarter flopper.

    Hi Wayne — a random question for you. I live in Newcastle, and we had an awful domestic violence tragedy a few weeks ago. Last night, KING sent out Madison Wade to cover a vigil held by a local church. She did a live standup and report, but it was basically just B-roll from the event inside the church. A few lines of the pastor speaking, no on-camera interviews, and no print report anywhere on their website. Why would they do that? Like it seems a bit much to stand her up there for a report that just a single camera person could do. I used to work in newspapers, so I broadly understand journalism, but I feel like I’m missing something here. Any guesses?

    I found the video on their site: https://www.king5.com/video/news/local/community-comes-together-to-grieve-after-newcastle-townhome-shooting/281-2d1dadcd-55ed-4099-b6da-cd7dbdbc5c3b
    Looks to me like they sent a photog out first to get the video inside. She may have gone out later than to meet up with the photog, watch the b-roll, voice track it and front it. Having no interviews is a bit odd, I agree. Maybe by the time she arrived the vigil was over. Hard to say.

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.

UPDATED: Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

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. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...

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.
