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 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.
I wonder how many viewers this debate will attract. It could be a good way to promote ARC Seattle and The CW.
ReplyDeleteLots 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.
ReplyDeleteSounds like expectations for this debate drawing an audience should be set quite low then.
DeleteWatched 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.
ReplyDeleteNot 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.
DeleteOr as one retiree at the nursing home yelled out: "Where's Columbo?!" or "Where's Matlock?!" LOL
