Abby Acone and Taylor Winkel, the Doublemint goofs

 


Well at least these two Fox 13 anchors didn't do a gay joke on this inane post. Maybe Abby has been counseled.  Oh ... Call me when these two juveniles grow up into adult broadcasters

    I like Winkel. Seems great during the week when reporting. Abby is too focused on her sexual preferences.

    I think she does ok as a reporter but not on the desk, but it is a throw away duopoly newscast. I mentored Taylor and helped her develop her resume but I think she is one market too high and needs some mid market development in like a Cincy or Milwaukee. Too much giddy banter, even for Sat and Sun am shows and not enough urgency.

      Winkel would probably work well in a market like Spokane. Agree Wayne?

      She came here from Reno 103 mkt. Spokane 66, so she could have gotten more seasoning there and a more reasonable jump than all the way to 13.

    Safe to say Taylor's career is being jeopardized by her weekend co-anchor?

    It's a maturity/credibility issue for both IMHO. Both need coaching.

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.

UPDATED: Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

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.    I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck.   Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...

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.
