Seattle TV couple hosts paid infomercial



Just happened upon a paid Saturday show called Loveable Listings on the Fox duopoly (KJZO), hosted by Erin Mayovsky of Fox 13 mornings and Gaard Swanson, host of KOMO's Seattle Refined weekday afternoon.  They are a moonlighting husband and wife team, ICYMI, and they voice and appear in the pieces.

It's sponsored by Compass Real Estate Brokers and shows luxury home listings from Seattle and way beyond.   Highly produced.

But wait, there's More:

Former KOMO weekend anchor Lee Stoll is on the show, too, billed as a 'Design Expert.'  I thought she left KOMO for Amazon, but she was apparently laid off so she got her real estate broker's license.  Life after TV.  

Who knew?

    They are both already doing quite well salary wise, I'm sure.

    I think I've seen this program come up in the TV listings once or twice, but I never bothered to tune in. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

    I'm sorry to hear that Lee Stoll got laid off from Amazon so quickly after joining them. I hope her new real estate/"design expert" career goes well for her.

    Real estate is one of those professions that their some kind of stability, both professionally and personally, physically and mentally. Several of my KOMO colleagues also went into the business themselves including newscast director James Owen, Sports Director Mike Ferreri and Reporter Mark Miller. Stoll's position at Amazon was not going to be long-term given the layoffs going on at "Bezo's Balls". It is tough getting laid off, but at least when one door closes, another opens.

    I think Mark Wright oh 13 and KING tried the mortgage business but got out. Houses not selling in Seattle for now at ridiculous prices. I guess it's a port in a storm. I wonder how Kim Holcomb of K5 Evening is doing and Meg King.

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.

Seattle TV Weekender Ends Her Run

  So long to KOMO's longtime weekend morning anchor Lee Stoll who did her final show Saturday.  She previously worked at KIRO7 and KREM2 in Spokane and did a little fill-in for me at the old NWCN.  She's a Northwestern U grad.   Weekend weather sidekick Theron Zahn will likely step right into anchor slot.  Newcomer Stella Sun may also be in the mix.  Zahn bid Lee a final goodbye this morning.  She is not revealing what is next, saying "That's for later." Also, next month Komo News Operations boss Dennis Hanson and longtime Production Tech Rena Mullen are retiring. There's a big Studio C station bash for them and retiring ND Phil Bruce on December 5th.
