Just want to say that I think Parella Lewis has really done well since coming back to Seattle and re-joining the KING weather team. She's comfortable, authoratative and on point with her presentation. There were concerns about how she departed her past station internally in the Carolinas, but I see good stuff on air, at least. Actually, I think the Seattle TVweather talent is among the best anywhere. Her, Rich Marriott, Shannon O'Donnell, Morgan Palmer, Nick Allard, Claire Anderson, Brian MacMillan, George Waldenberger, Stella Sun, Theron Zahn, Leah Pezzeti and more. Lots of talent. Oddly, although you can get local weather on your phone, these folks make it good to still check on regular TV and the stations emphasize them.
The Seattle television market has had a long history of excellent weather talent, and that legacy continues to this day. We are fortunate to have such an array of expierenced professionals across the four TV news departments forecasting the weather in has been said to be one of the toughest markets to predict the weather in anywhere in the country. Sunny all summer and rainy the rest of the year our weather might generally be, but our various microclimates keep things very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWould be hard to equal the days of Pool, Renner and Woppler but the talent here is good. News anchors seem to be a shadow of their former self and same with sports, to a degree at least. Susan Hutchinson, Lewis/Goertzen, Enerson and Bounds will probably never be replicated again.
