From Radio to TV news in Seattle





Heather Bosch, who was let go by KIRO 97.3 and lost her work at CBS Radio when it folded, has caught on doing some freelance reporting for KIRO 7.   They could use the help for sure.  She's smart and knowledgeable.

Thanks to a loyal reader for the tip and Heather confirmed.

    I was sorry to hear Heather was not doing the newscast on 97.3. But my hope for her is to achieve success on her terms! She’s been a fixture in this town. I even enjoyed the national stuff she did after her first stint on KIRO

    They most certainly can and it's great the station was able to bring her in with the tremendous amount of experience she has.

      Her combibation of local and national experience will serve KIRO well. An excellent addition to the team!

    Heather is just one of those folks that you root for. She is extremely accomplished but is very down to earth and approachable.

    No surprise as Heather did some "fill-in" work at KING awhile back.

    So Heather is not as a regular full-time employee, but more like a 1099 contractor.

      Part-timer on the payroll
      Not a contractor.

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.

Seeing some alerts on Parella Lewis' behavior in SC

She's on her way to KING in August, but Patreons on ftvlive.com show several colleagues complaining about bullying tactcs and not wanting to work with her.   It may explain why she moved from station to station in Seattle back in the day and wound up in a podunk market for years. Here's the post, you be the judge: FTVLive has heard from a number of staffers who described Lewis as a straight up "Bully." Now, normally, when someone reaches out to FTVLive and describes a co-worker is "mean" or a "bully", we don't pay it much attention. Not everyone likes each other and in a business full of big egos, there will be friction. But, the word "bully" kept popping up, when talking to people inside the WYFF newsroom. One insider shared a story in which WYFF Anchor Destiny Chance was to read a story while standing in front of the chroma key. One WYFF staffer described it this way, "Destiny had a shot at the chroma key after weather.  The pr...
