Announce team for Seattle Torrent TV debut






Here's the broadcast team for the new women's hockey franchise.  This looks like a time buy for the team and selling the spots on a revenue share.

  1. If there is one place this could work, it's Seattle.

  2. The league is producing all the broadcasts and these are all streaming on YouTube. So the broadcast Seattle viewers saw was the same one as the Vancouver folks got - and the announcers were Vancouver-based (TSN sports network in Canada carried the game up north). The league does have contracts with some RSN's around the United States for games but yes, most likely this is a time buy setup. Mike is right though, if there is one place it can work for the team to make money on a rights fee it would be Seattle

  3. Spot on, Mr. Workman. When the league spends the money to produce the games, et al, and likely split some revenue, it can be the proverbial win-win-win Than for Foz 13. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

    1. Of course. The PWHL has a full webpage devoted to their TV setup: https://www.thepwhl.com/en/where-to-watch. You will notice that with the Canadian teams those teams are getting full network coverage whereas down here there is no national TV partner for the league and they are instead working with RSN's and a collection of local OTA's such as Fox13+ and OTA RSN's.

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.    

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...

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.
