Caryn Littler, who worked the assignment desk at KING 5, moved to DC a while back to take the job of  assignment manager at NBC News Washington.  Now, FTVlive.com reports that after 8 years, she was laid off last Wednesday.   The story is behind a paywall, but she wrote: "If you are in the market for an Assignment Manager or general logistics.communications extraordinaire, please reach out."   Others were also laod off at the same time and Paramount.CBS layoffs are nigh.

    Sorry to hear that Littler has lost her job. I wish her, everyone who has been laid off from NBC in recent weeks, everyone who is about to be laid off at Paramount Skydance (CBS), and everyone being let go at Amazon (that is goimg to be a major story in this market this week) all the best in finding new jobs. It is not getting any easier out there, and the pool of people looking for work is only continuing to grow. All while the use of AI, which is one of the reasons Amazon is citing for its layoffs, among employers of all sizes, media industry or not, continues to grow, for better or worse.

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.

Seeing some alerts on Parella Lewis' behavior in SC

She's on her way to KING in August, but Patreons on ftvlive.com show several colleagues complaining about bullying tactcs and not wanting to work with her.   It may explain why she moved from station to station in Seattle back in the day and wound up in a podunk market for years. Here's the post, you be the judge: FTVLive has heard from a number of staffers who described Lewis as a straight up "Bully." Now, normally, when someone reaches out to FTVLive and describes a co-worker is "mean" or a "bully", we don't pay it much attention. Not everyone likes each other and in a business full of big egos, there will be friction. But, the word "bully" kept popping up, when talking to people inside the WYFF newsroom. One insider shared a story in which WYFF Anchor Destiny Chance was to read a story while standing in front of the chroma key. One WYFF staffer described it this way, "Destiny had a shot at the chroma key after weather.  The pr...
