Mariners push 710 to second place

 


August radio ratings are in. for Seattle   KUOW (NPR and local) leads the pack again with a nice jump.  KIRO AM moves to second with the Mariners pennant drive.   KTTH's change to the stupid Seattle Red title/slogan caused a little drop.   That stuff never works.   Will be watching how the events of the Kirm murder will affect the Sept. numbers.    Not too much else to report of significance, but here is the rundown.

    Seems King FM is rising nicely. Could this mean that people are finally sick of news- talk? Classical music is brain food !

    KIRO has historically held the number one spot often through the years.

    Apparently good Mariners are good for business. Not sure if there is anything or anyone else worth listening to on that station except the baseball team. Boring hosts who are probably told to play it safe by the baseball and football teams

    Raible, Wyman, Rizzs, Drayer - all homers. Understandably so, but it does rankle. Criticism of Seattle teams is hard to come by amind the incessant boosterism by all stations and their team partnerships. There was a time when News bosses (like at KING) prohibited staff from wearing team gear not only on the air, but in the newsroom.

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.

Seattle TV Weekender Ends Her Run

  So long to KOMO's longtime weekend morning anchor Lee Stoll who did her final show Saturday.  She previously worked at KIRO7 and KREM2 in Spokane and did a little fill-in for me at the old NWCN.  She's a Northwestern U grad.   Weekend weather sidekick Theron Zahn will likely step right into anchor slot.  Newcomer Stella Sun may also be in the mix.  Zahn bid Lee a final goodbye this morning.  She is not revealing what is next, saying "That's for later." Also, next month Komo News Operations boss Dennis Hanson and longtime Production Tech Rena Mullen are retiring. There's a big Studio C station bash for them and retiring ND Phil Bruce on December 5th.
