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.

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.

Frankie Flees KIRO7

 UPDATE:  Frankie got married!!! Acting on tips from two of my loyal readers, I see that Weekend Weather Wizard Frankie Katafias is indeed missing from the KIRO 7 website.  Freelancer Scott Haveson filled in this past Sunday and we know that reporter Brandon Thompson has hit the weather wall in the past as a fill-in.   No word on if Frankie fled on her own or was told to.   She came to Seattle in 2022, so maybe it was a three-year deal that ended?
