Mariners Go All Up Stream



From what I see here, the new MLB baseball/media deal means Mariners games will be streamed thru the new ESPN app or MLB.tv app. Guess that will be the only way to watch?   Haven't seen anything about cost or schedule. More from KIRO radio:

  1. I don't know how practical it would be given limited staffing and a sports-heavy CBS national sxhedule to work around, but I think KIRO-TV should make a play to get some of the games. Doing so could help get more viewers to tune into KIRO's newscasts, and help persuade Cox or a future owner that serious investment in the station is a good idea.

    1. I think one of the stations will pick up some games for free over the air. With NBC getting Sunday night, KING might be willing to jump in at some point.

  2. It's been said that radio is a better way to enjoy baseball then TV. Radio will always be a free way to follow, we hope.

  3. Does this deal prevent local stations from televising games? Some reports have suggested it's possible.

    1. Now that the bigger deals are done, I think there will be a move to televise some local games after the smoke clears.

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.
