Former NCWN weather wizard to KIRO weekends

 



I hired Ed Muir back in the mid-2000s at the old Northwest Cable News to be a weathercaster/reporter after first meeting him in a training session I did in Albany, NY.   After a long and successful run at cable, he moved on to media work at Boeing.   Unfortunately, he was part of cuts there, but now has found some freelance work for awhile in front of the weather wall at KIRO 7 handling weekend evenings.   He knows his stuff.   Scott Haveson, who also once freelanced for me at NWCN had been recentlyfilling in.

    Good for Ed. He has a nice presence and projects an easy authority. And no, i am not Ed or a Muir family member!

      I agree. Muir projects himself quite well. Informative and professional, but also relaxed. A nice ray of sunshine.

    Ed is a fantastic choice. Knows his stuff, has a great attitude and is easy to work alongside. Morgan and Nick deserve some stability on their weather team. KIRO would be smart to make this a permanent choice if Ed is willing.

      Ed would be a great permanent addition to the KIRO team. I hope KIRO considers it as they decide who should ultimately fill the weekend weather role.

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.
