Exclusive: big changes ahead at Fox 13??


Strong source tells me that these changes are ahead but it may be a distance off, so stay tuned:

GOOD DAY LIVE (new) will eventually stream 1130-1 weekdays.

SEATTLE NEWS TODAY (new) eventually streaming 1-4 

Matt Smith would stay as host weekdays Live Desk, while new host will apparently do weekends (that job advertised in a previous post here).

Looks like Bill WIxey and Erin Mayovsky may be involved in the 1130-1 gig and Rose and Hana 1-4, so Matt Smith can catch a breath.

Meanwhile, csn confirm that Tyler Slauson has reportedly taken the streaming EP job that was posted.

  1. So it does look like Fox 13 might be about to beef up its streaming output. We'll see if it comes to fruition. I do worry about Wixey, Mayovsky, Rose, and Hana all taking on more hours of peogramming. Fox 13 could really be stretching itself thin. Even thinner than KIRO.

    Congrats to Slauson on landing the streaming EP job! He will have his work cut out for him!

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.

A Farewell to this Fox 13 Seattle host

Carly Henderson - co-host of Studio 13: Live - was laid off in the recent KCPQ expansion which we broke.  She posts her goodbye on FB.  She never really clicked on the pay for play lifestyle mid-morning show.   It will be cut to a half hour for awhile and moved to 10 a.m, according to reports, before moving back to 11 on Aug. 4.  And I am told it will remain 30 minutes, not be re-expanded to an hour.   Thank goodness. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HFRSYM8x
