Mariners betray their fans



Your beloved Mariners have left fans scrambling to find TV games just before opening night. Never believe the team cares about fans. Never.  They hide pricing and Information until the last minute.  Now Apple buys a game and NBC has Sunday.   Fans are marks for this team.  The Mariners specialize on lip service to sell overpriced tickets and concessions. Listen to radio.  I won't watch for a second year in a row.  Boring.

    And the NBC game Sunday Wayne isn't actually on NBC, but on Peacock and for those who are lucky to have it (YouTube TV and I think Comcast?), NBCSN. But you are not alone in your outrage about the different issues at play here. NY Yankees TV voice Michael Kay has voiced similar sentiments Wayne. MLB was handling the arrangements for all of the teams together and only finalized theirs with DIRECTV yesterday morning getting their streaming subs access to MLB.TV through DTV Stream among other things. Being able to watch the Mariners this year is going to be a bit of a chore and that is sad. And it is not something that the team is able to control since they ceded all that to the commissioner's office.

      When do the Sunday MLB games on NBC actually start airing on NBC and not just on Peacock? When the NBA regular season is over? Or when the NBA championships are over?

      Yes pretty sure after the NBA playoffs are over. NBC wants to build out Sunday nights with football, bball and baseball in primetime.

      Primetime sports on Sunday is a good strategy for NBC to pursue. But it does get a bit complicated when the sports involved have their seasons overlap, as basketball and baseball are doing now. The number of Sunday primetime slots is stuck at one per week considering how long these games run for, so its not like they can air one sport in an early slot and then air the other sport in a later slot while sticking to the traditional primetime hours. This is where Peacock can come in handy, but only if the games are acessible to everyone eho wishes to watch.

    You're correct. NBA on NBC Sunday. Difficult to navigate for sure. MLB may be to blame for this but the price for pay cable was hidden and no one publicized it or reported it accurately. Missed opportunity for the league and team. And I am sure many fans don't understand the league involvement. They just want to see a championship team. It becomes a poor excuse, no matter. Thanks for chiming in

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.

Seeing some alerts on Parella Lewis' behavior in SC

She's on her way to KING in August, but Patreons on ftvlive.com show several colleagues complaining about bullying tactcs and not wanting to work with her.   It may explain why she moved from station to station in Seattle back in the day and wound up in a podunk market for years. Here's the post, you be the judge: FTVLive has heard from a number of staffers who described Lewis as a straight up "Bully." Now, normally, when someone reaches out to FTVLive and describes a co-worker is "mean" or a "bully", we don't pay it much attention. Not everyone likes each other and in a business full of big egos, there will be friction. But, the word "bully" kept popping up, when talking to people inside the WYFF newsroom. One insider shared a story in which WYFF Anchor Destiny Chance was to read a story while standing in front of the chroma key. One WYFF staffer described it this way, "Destiny had a shot at the chroma key after weather.  The pr...
