Debate on ARC Seattle.



At long last, KOMO decides to air a major Seattle a mayoral debate on ARC Seattle instead of the main channel.  Weds Oct 8 at 7.  Apparently taped previously at Seattle U.

    I wonder how many viewers this debate will attract. It could be a good way to promote ARC Seattle and The CW.

    Lots of baseball on tap that evening on TBS and Fox...so it will be hard for viewers to make that choice. Plus it was previously taped, putting it almost a week behind Fox 13 and KING's debates in terms of more recent content.

      Sounds like expectations for this debate drawing an audience should be set quite low then.

    Watched most of the KING 5 Mayoral Debate Friday night. Nothing particularly noteworthy. Friday nights are not great for debates. People have other things to do, namely, relaxing and decompressing from the work and school week along with high school football. To me it was a throwaway time slot for such an important meeting.

      Not being a Seattle city resident, I didn't make a point of watching it live, though I have seen snippets, and I agree with your assessment. Important but not particulatly noteworthy. The Friday night timeslot was a poor scheduling move. Probably the worst night of the week to schedule a debate.

UPDATED: Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning.  Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next.  Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management.  Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate.    I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck.   Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...

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.
