Hunter Schultz needs some decaf...out at Fox Sports.

Interesting aside on the day after the OKC Thunder win the NBA Finals, which brought the wrath of many Seattle Sonics fans still seething over the 2008 betrayal by Starbucks magnate Howard Schultz. Now, his son, Hunter, who grew up loving his dad's team, has parted ways with Fox Sports, mostly because his bosses wanted him out and so did the NFL. He is a controversial NFL insider who has apparently rankled the ranks.

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.

Her last day at KOMO is June 26. It's the first big anchor move by 7's new news boss. Plus previously adding Nia Bliss (Wong-ex Fox 13) and Heather Bosch freelance (ex-Kiro radio). Interesting to see exactly what her role there will be. KIRO has a morning traffic anchor and an established news team in Dee Dee and Linzi plus Nick Allard on weather. Waiting to hear more. Majors also said she will continue teaching at Seattle U. I have not been impressed by her work on ARC. Steve McCarron has carried her along. She's a strong brand builder, however. You can search my previous posts about her on the site. Could this also signal the end of ARC? I posted last week that a major move was going to happen in the market. KING ...
