Root Sports team finishes 14th of 30.




According to a poll conducted by the web site awfulannouncing.com, the Mariners TV broadcast team of Aaron Goldsmith and Angie Mentink took 14th place in the annual poll.    I don't subscribe to the channel and don't care to watch baseball until the playoffs.  It's also the post Dave Sims/MikeBlowers era.   Here's the detail on all the teams...so scroll to page 2 and down from there to #14.   Too many analysts in my book.   If you watch, let me know you opinions on the crew.

    I watch a lot of games, I feel Aaron and Angie offer great insight and stay just enough in the background to enhance the experience. Contrast with the ESPN broadcast on Sunday, the broadcast was a complete distraction. It didn’t even help improve a terrible game. Sometimes less is more

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.

Frankie Flees KIRO7

 UPDATE:  Frankie got married!!! Acting on tips from two of my loyal readers, I see that Weekend Weather Wizard Frankie Katafias is indeed missing from the KIRO 7 website.  Freelancer Scott Haveson filled in this past Sunday and we know that reporter Brandon Thompson has hit the weather wall in the past as a fill-in.   No word on if Frankie fled on her own or was told to.   She came to Seattle in 2022, so maybe it was a three-year deal that ended?
