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.    

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.
