Talk about being 'on camera!'


KING morning anchors turned to the magic window where a reporter was about to break some exclusive video on a story, when, lo and behold, a studio camera was wayyy in the way.  He then actually could be seen walking behind it to get into full position.   Well, it was at 6:02 so no one was awake anyway, right?   It continues to be an odd week at K5.

Weather wizard Ashley Ruiz took on traffic this morning, BTW.   Also, on the Dusty Baker fabricated social post and his subsequent CYA post, hearing that the internal fallout is mostly just 'bad first impression.'.  I did not see him in studio on the new sports show this morning after his debut Weds., a show with The 700 Club as its lead-in.

    This has been a bad week for KING. I don't recall a week that was worse since the 2016 buyouts, which shows how rare it is for KING to be in such a position.

    In this case, I don't fault the reporter for having to work around the studio camera. The camera was in the way, and should have been positioned correctly.

    Baker's social media posts are definitely a bad first impression. It doesn't sound like Frame is handling it well.

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
