These Seattle TV anchors go wild for the Hawks

PNW Natives Chris Egan and Madison Wade of KING join with weather lady Leah Pezzetti to jump for joy after the big win.  K5 will carry the game.  Also Ms. Wade just can't sit still she's so happy.  I think all of this exuberance is understandable in this particular case!

    Normally, such exuberance would be out of line for a professional news team. But right now, with everything going on in the world, every bit of joy and happiness we get needs to be celebrated and cherished. And the Seahawks going to the Super Bowl is undoubtely a joyous and happy occasion for our region.

      Yes, acceptable conditions. Boosterism, granted, but warranted just for this unique, historic occasion. I just hope they don't start wearing team apparel. But they will.

    When Fox13 talent posts videos like this, you cry unprofessionalism. Now that KING has done it...it's acceptable! More Pro-KING propaganda...

    What Winkel and Acone posted had no reason or motive except self-serving egos. Acone posts solo videos that are nonsensical and offensive to many. Tell me why? The KING posts were celebratory of something the entire region is genuinely excited about, and not a meaningless pattern like at 13.

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.
