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.

Seeing some alerts on Parella Lewis' behavior in SC

She's on her way to KING in August, but Patreons on ftvlive.com show several colleagues complaining about bullying tactcs and not wanting to work with her.   It may explain why she moved from station to station in Seattle back in the day and wound up in a podunk market for years. Here's the post, you be the judge: FTVLive has heard from a number of staffers who described Lewis as a straight up "Bully." Now, normally, when someone reaches out to FTVLive and describes a co-worker is "mean" or a "bully", we don't pay it much attention. Not everyone likes each other and in a business full of big egos, there will be friction. But, the word "bully" kept popping up, when talking to people inside the WYFF newsroom. One insider shared a story in which WYFF Anchor Destiny Chance was to read a story while standing in front of the chroma key. One WYFF staffer described it this way, "Destiny had a shot at the chroma key after weather.  The pr...
