No Linda Cohn on Kraken Hockey pre-game


Looks like Linda Cohn of ESPN is MIA in the home opener of the season on the Kraken Hockey Network.  Is this a one-off or has she not been re-hired because she is back in Bristol for ESPN and not LA??

  1. It was nice to bring Linda back to Seattle, even if it was for just one season.

  2. Last night's game was on KONG only and IIRC from last year the only games she worked were the ones that KING simulcasted. So that may also be a part of this too

    1. Yes for sure. I didn't see much of the show, did her name come up at all as joining soon?

  3. She may turn up when games are on KING. As the TV reporters say, 'Time will Tell.'

  4. She isn't on the team's web site anymore. And I don't think she brought anything to the shows other than she is an ESPN personality. Geography probably doesn't matter since John and Eddie don't live on the west coast

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...
