Fox 13 Seattle, aka KCPQ, has celebrated 45 years on the air. Happy anniversary. Read all about it. Breeze thru the hype.

"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.
I like to add that 13 already had a semi or quasi-news operation in place during the early and mid-1980s with a 10 o'clock newscast that couldn't compete with the local stations and even KSTW 11 for that matter which is why it got initially canned. Until the Tribune acquisition a decade later, the station seemed dormant carrying syndicated programs or reruns of old shows until ownership said that it was time to try again and get back into the TV news game. I also find it kind of funny how in most, if not, all of their articles online reading that footnote at the bottom that has a banner saying "The Source" and a blurb about where and how the information for this story was discovered. I don't know if it is a management policy or they just don't trust their writers, but it feels like writing essays in school when we had to cite our sources (author, title, page number) for that bibliography section at the end. Anyways, that's my hot take (or two), now back to you.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the fold, Felt! What have you been up to lately?
DeleteThank you! I've been doing well. I've embarked on a new venture that has me excited, but what that is...well, that will be discussed at a later time.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Fox 13!
