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.

UPDATED: Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning.  Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next.  Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management.  Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate.    I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck.   Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...
