New podcast from this Seattle TV team


Fox 13 calls it Seattle News Weekly with the main morning anchors chopping up the latest local news and such.    There have been four so far.   Let the pontificating continue to push the a.m. team and numbers.    Fox actually seems over-gimmicked to me with Fox Local, Live Desk, WA Sports Wrap, WA News Wrap, Seattle Sports Live on Sunday nights, Seahawks Gameday, Zip Trips, Seattle News Tonight when its still daylight, et al.   Scorecard, pls.

  1. Fox 13 seems like it might be a little late to the podcast party, but good to see them dipping their toe into the audio world.

    As for the gimmicks, yeah, they've got too many.

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.

A Farewell to this Fox 13 Seattle host

Carly Henderson - co-host of Studio 13: Live - was laid off in the recent KCPQ expansion which we broke.  She posts her goodbye on FB.  She never really clicked on the pay for play lifestyle mid-morning show.   It will be cut to a half hour for awhile and moved to 10 a.m, according to reports, before moving back to 11 on Aug. 4.  And I am told it will remain 30 minutes, not be re-expanded to an hour.   Thank goodness. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HFRSYM8x
