Shannon Brady did her final forecast Wednesday th 14th at KTVZ in Bend, OR. What's next can be found at this station link, but it appears this was a final FAREWELL.

I didn't know there was a TV station in Bend. That's great, Bend is a great town.
ReplyDeleteBend is still a small television market, but the area is growing rapidly, and while it will likely never grow to be as large as the Seattle, Portland, or even Spokane television markets, I reckon that it will give the Yakima/Tri-Cities television market a run for its money someday.
DeleteI checked it out, according to Alexa, there are 7 TV stations in Bend, and when you think about it, Yakima, which is about the same size has several.
ReplyDeleteThat's actually the last station Allen Schauffler -ex-King5 -worked before retiring. I think it was branded Central Oregon Daily.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Shannon on whatever life brings her way next.
