If you have been wondering what Rebecca Stevenson is up to since her departure a year ago from the weather team at KOMO, she still watches the skies, forecasts online and sends pictorial greetings at this link below. No word yet on a new landing spot.

Great to hear that Rebecca is still around and keeping an eye on the weather! I hope she lands somewhere soon.
ReplyDeleteShe has worked at every station as I understand and garnered loving fans everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWayne did you work with her? Working at and getting let go at every station in one market is an interesting career path. Popular with viewers it appears but there must be something behind the scenes here.
ReplyDeleteI did work with Rebecca at NWCN. But KING really wanted her and brought her over from cable. Later, after she left for the Chief Met jobat KIRO, I really lost touch with her, so that's all I can really say.
DeleteI can't fault KING for wanting Rebecca. Her personality fit in well amongst's some of KING's other weather presenters at the time.
DeleteI think I mentioned this in a comment awhile back, but Rebecca was really itching for then Chief Met Jeff Renner's job at KING. She would pop in on a few times on KING here and there, but Jeff's position was pretty much set in stone. KIRO was looking for a Chief Met after Andy Wappler (son of the famous Harry Wappler) left for a comm job at Puget Sound Energy. KIRO brought in Rebecca and did that for two or three years, but a change in news directors had her out the door and she then went East to join Al Jazeera America when they launched. She came back to Seattle after that operation folded and did a couple years with FOX13, a short return with KING and last, but not least, at KOMO. I can't explain for her short runs, but then again, who knows? Either way, much success to her career and endeavors for 2026.
