    Congratulations to Carly. I always enjoyed her television persona. Now she will be in the same house as Ali Bradley. They both have found a better place.

      News Nation is a barely-rated FNC wannabe. I will disagree that it is a better place nut for a paycheck in a volatile TV world.

      Not to mention Marni Hughes also left her evening anchor position at FOX 13 Seattle for this mom-and-pop or cookie cutter of network news channel. While it is a step up to go from local to network, NewsNation barely scratches the surface in contrast to the "Big Three". You even have ex-network newsies like Chris Cuomo and Bill O'Reilly who are just there to say that yes, they got screwed by their former employers, but this network is giving me a platform to allow me do what I best and all is hunky-dory in their world. As Walter Cronkite said at the end of his final broadcast back in 1981: "Old anchormen, you see, don't fade away. They just keep coming back for more."

      The Chicago police scanner has better numbers than News Nation, based at WGN

    Its good to hear that Carly has found a new role. NewsNation might not be the most desirable network, but it does mean that she has now a foot in the door with Nexstar, which owns NewsNation, and may soon own KING if their planned merger with Tegna, KING's owner, happens. Could a return to Seattle TV be possible? I wouldn't rule it out. I also wouldn't rule out Carly ending up on any other of Nexstar's far-too-many stations in a lifestyle/entertainment role. Many Nexstar stations have shows similar to Studio 13 and KING's New Day, and the number of those shows in existence has been growing.

    Just pointing out that Carly is not an employee of NewsNation or an FTO, she is more or less just being what many on the network level call as a "contributor" rather than as a "correspondent" or "reporter". Sadly, the writing was on the wall when Carly joined FOX 13 that those who held "lifestyle/entertainment" beats before her (Ellen Taylor and Kaci Atchison were the other two) that it was going to be a short run. Ellen left 13 on account of personal reasons (I think she was being stalked or something from what I had heard) and now is the PA announcer for the Reign (Sounders' female counterpart) and Kaci became the early-AM news anchor and now is at Valve Corp. (a video game developer).

    Yes she may be getting some play and a paycheck there, but NN is not a good landing spot, period!

      It's so easy that a caveman can do it!

    In less time that it took to watch that four-minute segment: "Siri, tell me the latest entertainment news..."/"what movies are playing in theatres now..." and you don't
    have to watch a 30-sec or minute-long commercial.

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.
