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.

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
