UPDATE: Post holiday anchor team at KIRO

 

UPDATE:  A reader says DeeDee Sun in on maternity leave.   Congrats.   Guess we will see more of Eric Thomas.  He is a little too strong for my taste in the mornings, but we shall see.

Reporter Ranji Sinha and Eric Thomas hold down the fort on the morning show Tuesday.  Thomas mentioned he was sitting in for Linzi Sheldon but no mention of DeeDee Sun.  Her bio is still up though
Saw Thomas on the a.m. show last Friday co-anchoring with reporter Madeline Otille.

    Deedee Sun had a baby last week and is on maternity leave I would assume.

    Congrats to Deedee on the birth of her child. I wish her and her newborn nothing but good health and happiness.

    Better than nothing. Last week, on one day, there was no local KIRO 7 morning show!

      Was that last Thursday, when the 4:30am portion of the news did not air? Did the 5am and 6am portions also not air?

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.

A Farewell to this Fox 13 Seattle host

Carly Henderson - co-host of Studio 13: Live - was laid off in the recent KCPQ expansion which we broke.  She posts her goodbye on FB.  She never really clicked on the pay for play lifestyle mid-morning show.   It will be cut to a half hour for awhile and moved to 10 a.m, according to reports, before moving back to 11 on Aug. 4.  And I am told it will remain 30 minutes, not be re-expanded to an hour.   Thank goodness. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HFRSYM8x
