At least KOMO topped KIRO's meaningless 'Play for the Bay' with this gem. It seems that creativity has taken a sack. No station is using 'Super or Seattle' in a promo line? SMH.
SEATTLE GOES SUPER

Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning. Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next. Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management.
