KOMO reporter won't need a bio pic on Meet the Team



Just when KOMO finally, at long last, it's about time, updated its Meet the Team page to include several recent additions, Ryan Simms, who NEVER had a bio picture up since joining KOMO a few years ago, has left the station.   He posted on X at the link below.    He hit the Seattle TV exacta, working first for crazy KIRO and then KOMO.    Several months back I noted his linkedin page had the words 'open to work,' while still at 4.    Was he thinking ahead?  Well, now he is open.  Good luck.

    Guessing the lack of bio pic was the last straw. LOL. Good luck to him.

    A profile picture (or lack of) doesn't surmount to anything. It is a personal choice for all that matters. Do I care about the college and degree they graduated with or the story they broke that got them attention or the number of Emmys they've won? Puh-lease.

      Some prospective viewers who are new to the region and sampling the stations to find one they like might be interested in that information.

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...
