Somehow I thought a story about a weather anchor at KXLY was new, but I totally botched the poat. My apoligies to the two gentlemen involved, to the station for causing any confusion and to my eagle-eyed readers here. No excuses.
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. Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate.

ReplyDeleteHa. Wayne might be bored and is messing with our minds.
ReplyDeleteToo much coffee sometimes causes errors...
ReplyDeleteLol.
