Thrown together transit package


A while back I suggested KOMO traffic reporter/ARC anchor Tyrah Majors build up some reporting chops on transpo in Seattle to enhance I really street cred.

I watch Thursday and see a terrible advancer package on Sound Transit decision offered by rote with no authority, knowledge or insight.    Handout stuff to fill time.   READING her script at the top of the simple close out and finishing with an obvious line.  

"Riders certainly want to see start seeing these projects 'be put into place' and take advantage of it ultimately."  Projects is plural = THEY not IT.   She has taught at the university level?    Can't memorize a simple standup while the package is running more than a minute?     Does she get no reporting coaching from her boss?  Not doing herself any favors with this no-viewer impact preview story.   A lot more expected at this level with her loaded resume.   Do better.

    She is not good. Classic person who likes being on tv but isn't good at tv

    This package was gramatically clunky. Not what I would expect from a university professor.

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 ...
