Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning. Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next. Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management. Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate. I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck. Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...

If Fox 13 doesn't want to invest in some sports memorabilia, or, at the very least, some more random decor items to liven up the set, then perhaps the Washington Sports Wrap should be presented from another part of the studio. Perhaps the main anchor desk, or the area where the weather is normally presented from?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that should be shelved is the show!
ReplyDeleteWith the money the station makes with all the games they carry and Aaron Levine makes (not to mention he drives a Mercedes-Benz), how could they not invest in adding something that showcases a little Seattle sports flavor (i.e., a Supersonics jersey or a Sounders soccer ball) rather than going on the generic like an ordinary football or baseball that you get at a Big 5. I know it's done in the studio, but it makes it look like its presented in some random mancave. Another thing is to actually invest in some "decent" talent. The folks they have are more interested in finding out where the camera is rather than offering their expertise and knowledge. It feels like "All About Me TV" or "look ma, I'm on TV". Just a thought.
