A Blog Benchmark and a Sincere Thank You



Tomorrow, June 30, two years ago, I started this blog to offer Seattle TV media information from here, there and everywhere, seeking to report and discuss the talent and program ups and downs in the market.

THANKS to all of my readers and commenters.  It has grown to 349,000 views, almost 30,000 just this month with overall 4000 comments on 1225 posts.  

Very amazed and more than grateful.  

Here's to another year of keeping the conversation going.

    Congratulations, reading your blog is a part of my daily routine. I like to be in-the-know! I’m a fellow longtime journalist.

    Any insight on who is replacing Madison Wade on KING? I watched Robertson over the weekend. I thought Carter was it, maybe it’s a trial run?

    I appreciate your kind words. Hard to say about Madison for sure, with vacations in full swing. Maddie Carter is probably the play because her SO is here too now I'm K5 sports.
    Gives some stability after a long run by Madison who just posted a ton of honeymoon photos, BTW.

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
