More unknowns on Fox13 sports show



Ethan McReynolds, radio producer, and Ashley Ryan, also from KJR radio, on Washington Sports Wrap Wednesday night?  Faces in the crowd on a mediocre program on the first day of Hawks Training camp.  Entire show should have been live from VMAC.

    I'm not much of a sports fan, but I agree that the first day of the Seahawks Training Camp warranted better coverage than it recieved, especially given how domiant the Seahawks are in Seattle's fast growing sports scene. I hope coverage improves when the Seahawks start playing their pre-season games next month.

    I remember watching videos of KIRO's "News Out of the Box" experiment in the early to mid-90s when both TV and radio operations were combined into one to become "NewsCenter 7". It didn't help when TV folks would come into the radio booth when it seemed that the radio folks seemed uncomfortable doing on-the-spot updates live on camera. Reminds me of what the late SanFran radio personality Jim Lange (remember "The Dating Game"?) used to say that: "Good radio is still the most fun. It always will be. Plus, you don't have to wear makeup, and you don't have to shave."

      I'm a little too young to remember "The Dating Name", but I have seen a few videos of KIRO's "News Out of the Box" experiment. Very ahead of its time, and quite well done. I'm probably one of the few who wouldn't have minded seeing it continue, though I fully understand why it didn't last.

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.

Seeing some alerts on Parella Lewis' behavior in SC

She's on her way to KING in August, but Patreons on ftvlive.com show several colleagues complaining about bullying tactcs and not wanting to work with her.   It may explain why she moved from station to station in Seattle back in the day and wound up in a podunk market for years. Here's the post, you be the judge: FTVLive has heard from a number of staffers who described Lewis as a straight up "Bully." Now, normally, when someone reaches out to FTVLive and describes a co-worker is "mean" or a "bully", we don't pay it much attention. Not everyone likes each other and in a business full of big egos, there will be friction. But, the word "bully" kept popping up, when talking to people inside the WYFF newsroom. One insider shared a story in which WYFF Anchor Destiny Chance was to read a story while standing in front of the chroma key. One WYFF staffer described it this way, "Destiny had a shot at the chroma key after weather.  The pr...
