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.
"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.
Congrats to Matt and Mark on their new roles!
ReplyDeleteThese new roles come at an exicting time for KXLY, who is just about to take over (I believe the change starts this weekend or early next week) responsibility for the local FOX affiliate's morning and 10pm newscasts, replacing longtime provider KHQ.
Yes and withTegna's KREM in play, it gives 4 a major boost in the market.
ReplyDeleteKREM was always my go-to station whenever important news was happening in Spokane, thanks in large part to KREM's connection to NWCN. They were always a couple steps ahead of the competition. These days, KREM is still okay, but I don't get the sense they are nearly as far ahead as they once were. KXLY is quickly gaining on them.
DeletePeterson stepped down a year ago and Gray took over. This news is from 2025.
ReplyDeleteMy eyesight must be going...I thought it was just this month. Gotta clean the specs. Thank you for giving me the straight stuff.
ReplyDeleteHa. Wayne might be bored and is messing with our minds.
ReplyDeleteToo much coffee sometimes causes errors...
ReplyDeleteLol.
You're still human, Wayne. At least you didn't bury the lead or butcher the footage. Even meteorologists still keep their job when they still get the forecast wrong.
