Sprechen sie Deutsch again Laura?




Well, it looks like the vilified ex-KIRO7 News Director is off to Berlin, Germany.  She has announced on linkedin.com that she has been selected to return as an ALUM of the RIAS Berlin Kommission Journalism Fellowship.  We reported here that she was recently escorted out of the station after a three year-stint, followed by some harsh social media posts by colleagues.   Anyway, this makes me wonder if she saw the end coming and worked quickly to get back to this group.  Interesting timing.  What a difference 10 days make.

    An attempt, on her part, to save face.

    Out of the line of further fire.

    Well, whatever her shortcomings, I’m sure they pale in comparison to the shenanigans (being polite) her news director predecessors pulled around the market—back when none of it had consequences. They wouldn’t last a week (or have a job) in the era of revenge posting.

    Congrats to Evans on her return to Germany. I hope things will work out better for her there then they did at KIRO.

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
