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.

  1. She was good. The topics, chemistry, and need to watch was lacking!

  2. Have to agree to disagree. Not a natural fit.

  3. A horrible show that you would only watch if you stumbled across it by mistake the dropped the remote control and the nurse wouldn’t come when you rang the call button.

    1. You might also stumble upon the show if it was playing on the TV at the auto repair shop and your phone battery was low. That happened to me a couple of times, and it makes up the bulk of my exposure to this particular show. I wouldn't say it was horrible, but it wasn't great either. I hope it will improve in its new format as there should be room on daytime Seattle TV for lighter local fare.

  4. It is far better and more cost-effective to have it as 1:30 piece at the tail end of the morning newscast rather than a full-blown half-hour or even hour-long program. You can have Wixey and Mayovsky read a couple items here and there, a :30 WX wrap up of the seven-day forecast and :30 traffic wind up, credits, there you go. Its Producing and TV Econ 101. I don't see the difference in timeslot or duration making it much of competitor to KING or KOMO or KIRO. The problem is that Henderson was out of place whereas you have folks like Wixey, Mayovsky, Gehrke and MacMillian who have Northwest roots. She could wind up doing some relief work for "Evening" or Hanson on "New Day", but we shall see. Unless you're the "Today" show, local morning shows (both radio and TV) have pretty much gone wayside if you ask me, namely hearing disclaimers of how portions of the program have been pre-recorded and what not.

  5. It's going to remain a half hour show in Aug, not back to an hour. No co-host. Mireya on her own. There may be changes with the timing of Sherri show, etc.

  6. It doesn't matter how long the show is or who is even hosting it. If anything, anyone these days has access to a camera on their phone and do their own.

  7. I found Carly to be charismatic with an engaging presence.

  8. Charismatic is strong praise, not sure she has that irresistible quality, but in Seattle TV, who really does? Agree to disagree, but thanks for reading and weighing it.

  11. I thought Carley was the best of the two on Studio Live. Very charming woman. All the best to her!

  12. I agree. She wasn’t a good fit for this type of show. She just seemed awkward and forced. Her stylist needed to be fired also. Bring back Kacie Atchison!

    1. Kaci would be a good fit for the show if she was interested and Fox 13 were inclined.

  13. I don't think she is still in the mix. Doubtful/

    1. I don't she is either, but the idea is still good if both parties are interested. I always liked Kaci when she was on Fox 13. She fit in quite well with the lighter vibe of their morning show back then.

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.
