Nice TV work by former Seahawk


Former Hawks wide receiver Bryan Walters was really strong co-hosting the Thursday post game with Alyssa Charlston-Smith on Fox 13 while sports boss Aaron Levine was in Phoenix covering the game.

Have seen him a little before but tonight he showed some talent.  Bigger role and he impressed.

  1. Perhaps Fox 13 will have him back more often. It sounds like he could be a good addition to the sports team for Seahawks coverage.

  2. I don't remember Bryan Walters, even though I'm a big Hawk fan, but I agree. He did do a great job.

  4. I agree. He has been a part of the Pre and Post games show on KIRO for at least five years. He is also on regular programming on 710 as a fill in host, and a go-to football insider. Grew up in Bothell, graduated from Juanita High School and played football in the Ivy League at Cornell. 7 years in the NFL, three of them with the Seahawks from 2012-2014, including the Super Bowl. Number 19 in your program.

  5. I appreciate that update from you. I don't listen to Hawks on radio, so I missed his previous broadcast contribtions as well as his tenure with the team. Good stuff.

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.
