An important award and emotional speech for this Seattle radio star

 



KUOW-FM longtime morning news anchor Angela King gets the prestigious Charles Odegarrd Award from the UW.  So well-deserved for her work in the community, her long stint on TV and radio in Seattle (she even anchored for me at NWCN and did its final newscast in Jan 2017) and devotion to her family.   

Watch her heartfelt speech here.  Her portion begins at 3:10 in:

Congrats Ange!!

    She is what is lacking in media today, a professional! Plus she is a huge Prince fan

    Congrats to Angela on earning this award. It is well deserved. She helps to make KUOW the dominant news station that it is on radio in this market with her professionalism and warm personality. She was always a pro on Fox 13's morning newscast when she was reporting there, and while I'm not as familiar with her work at NWCN (my family's cable provider at the time stopped carrying NWCN a few years before it shut down), I have no doubt that she brought a steady hand to NWCN in its final years.

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.

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.

Seattle TV Weekender Ends Her Run

  So long to KOMO's longtime weekend morning anchor Lee Stoll who did her final show Saturday.  She previously worked at KIRO7 and KREM2 in Spokane and did a little fill-in for me at the old NWCN.  She's a Northwestern U grad.   Weekend weather sidekick Theron Zahn will likely step right into anchor slot.  Newcomer Stella Sun may also be in the mix.  Zahn bid Lee a final goodbye this morning.  She is not revealing what is next, saying "That's for later." Also, next month Komo News Operations boss Dennis Hanson and longtime Production Tech Rena Mullen are retiring. There's a big Studio C station bash for them and retiring ND Phil Bruce on December 5th.
