PNW Regional Murrow Awards are in:



As usual KING Seattle enters the most and wins the most - 7 categories: Newscast, Feature Reporting, Continuing Coverage, Documentary, DEI, Video and Sports Reporting.   But KGW in PDX takes Overall Excellence and two others, including Investigative.  KIRO took Hard News.  One each for KOIN, OPB and KPTV.

Small Market Overall Excellence goes to KXLY in Spokane and KREM wins Newscast there.  Apple Valley News in Tri-Cities won Investigative.

On the radio side, KIRO 97.3 wins  Overall Excellence and Newscast.

These winners go on to the RTDNA national contest.   Sadly the radio network that gave him fame is gone.

    Congrats to everyone who won an award in this year's contest!

    I'm not surprised to see KING racking up another batch of awards, but I am thrilled to see that the Portland and Spokane stations are well represented this year. I was also happy to see Apple Valley News Now in the Tri-Cities win one. And even short-staffed KIRO managed a win!

    They give an award for DEI? Why, of course they give an award for DEI. KING is all about that.

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 Major change for Majors!

Tyrah Majors, KOMO morning traffic anchor and ARC Seattle co-host is entering the transfer portal, joining the KIRO morning news team on July 5 per her post on Instagram. Her last day at KOMO is June 26.   It's the first big anchor move by 7's new news boss.  Plus previously adding Nia Bliss (Wong-ex Fox 13) and Heather Bosch freelance (ex-Kiro radio).  Interesting to see exactly what her role there will be.  KIRO has a morning traffic anchor and an established news team in Dee Dee and Linzi plus Nick Allard on weather.    Waiting to hear more.    Majors also said she will continue teaching at Seattle U.     I have not been impressed by her work on ARC. Steve McCarron has carried her along. She's a strong brand builder, however.   You can search my previous posts about her on the site.   Could this also signal the end of ARC? I posted last week that a major move was going to happen in the market.  KING ...
