KING's Chris Egan tells us how he's packing to cover the Winter Olympics in Milan. Morning anchor Jake Whittenberg will be heading there too. Fun video at the link. Starts Friday a week.
"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.
Great to see that KING is continuing its long running tradition of sending people to cover the Olympics. It makes sense since KING will be airing the games, but it would make sense even if they weren't because of all the local athletes that will be competing in them, and the many great stories that may emerge as a result.
ReplyDeletePretty good work trip as far as those go. But this time I think I’d rather be at the Super Bowl. I saw today that KING is sending a lot of their team- Joyce Taylor, Paul Silvi, Ariel Orsuto, Drew Andre, and Jim Nelson.
ReplyDeleteEgan has covered the Games for years so he knows the drill, which is half the battle. Muscle memory. KING will have plenty of feet on the street plus Silvi and Taylor have so much knowledge and experience to lead the overall coverage.
DeletePair that with Chris and Jake heading to Milan, and that makes seven on-air personalities from KING who will be on the road this month, including the entire sports team. It just goes to show what KING is still capiable of even in this era of budget cuts and dwindling resources.
