Worried about USSS on KONG/Streaming


Monday's The Ultimate Sports Show featured a long interview with the sports producer of Brock and Salk from KIRO 710.   Who?   So far the program is using mostly media folks for interviews and a radio producer is not a draw on any platform.    Would you stream a show to watch someone who is basically anonymous?   I also think the lighting on Silvi and Egan is awful. The zoom guest was brighter.   

I love the producer of the program joining the show live, but the backward ball cap is worse than Barstool on FS1.  

Lots of work to do.   Seems to be struggling to find feet so far.   Debate is needed between the hosts.   Take some positions on NIL, sports betting restrictions in WA, expanded CFP, tanking, etc., involve viewer feedback.

    They need to take a page from sports talk radio, and inject more opinions into the show to spice up the conversation. Make it more lively and interesting. Make viewers want to tune in again tomorrow to see what drama gets stirred up next!

      Agree. They shoot Egan and Silvi in double boxes, so that's good for point/counterpoint. They need to debate NIL, CFP expansion, NBA tanking, the problems viewers have finding game telecasts, WA state's strict betting restrictions and impact on Emerald Downs, etc. Put some viewers feedback on the air, too.

      They should take your advice. Those are all great topics to debate. And viewer feedback would be an excellent addition to the show!

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 ...
