What will Sinclair's KOMO do Tuesday?



With the Kimmel show now reinstated by ABC, will Sinclair allow its stations to carry it?   Affiliate contracts generally restrict such blanket preemptions since the nets need clearance for programs to drive national ratings, so we'll wait for a statement from Sinclair and Nexstar, too.    Set your DVRs.

    I certainly hope so. I got a real kick watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart of September 19.

      It took me longer than it should have to catch onto what he was doing, but it was a very interesting and chilling scenario about what could happen to late night television if, heaven forbid, our rights to free speech and free expression are ever fully taken away.

    You can watch his monologue on You Tube. That would air in spite of what Sinclair decides.

    Not interested in his show or clips, but support his comedy and commentary as I would for anyone in this situation. A reader claimed he told a 'verifiable lie.' But the FCC has zero language about 'lies' in its rules, and, nothing has been verified yet. Charges yes, evidence still being gathered.

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
