Back on top in Seattle Radio ratings.


KUOW forged back into first in the later PPMs from Oct-Nov results.   KIRO radio went over the side after sailing with the Mariners in the playoffs, dropping 4.2 share points into 4th place after tying for first the last rating period with a 9.1   The team was eliminated on Oct. 20 and this book STARTED Oct. 16.    There were games on the 16th, 17th, 19th and 20th, so after that, listening declined.  

KIRO-FM dropped almost a share point while news competitor KNWN jumped into the top 10 with share growth amid the talent changes.

Here are the numbers from Radio Online.

    Your KIRO AM math ain't mathin' but to say that the Mariners loss days after the close of the book had any effect on the numbers is a reach.

      No it's not a reach. When the playoff run ended on Oct. 20 there was almost a month to go in the rating period. So, the point was, after the baseball season ended, the numbers obviously came downwith no baseball. There were 26 days left to measure after the season was over.

    KNWN and KNKX saw some growth in this ratings period. Good news for both stations.

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.
