Interesting info on new Seattle TV Guy



Doing a little background research on KOMO's new morning man, Patrick Hussion, and noticed he has twice worked for Herring Networks, AKA, One American Network, considered a conservative, even a far-right wing news organization supportive of President Trump.  He doesn't even list One America on his linkedin.com resume, instead using the Herring moniker only. 

And KOMO's own web story about him joining the team neither mentions that experience or that he was coming from its Sinclair sister station, only that he covered the White House and national politics.   

Hmmm.    

And did his previous stints there make him attractive for also-conservative Sinclair to hire him first in Asheville and then transfer/promote him to replace Mary Nam at KOMO?    Just wondering, not judging him - yet.

      He covered the White House 2013-2015 during Obama, but and anchored for OAN during Trump first term, according to LinkedIn. Q

    Could he possibly be a Red Herring?

      Working for OAN makes him a Flounder in my book!

    Very interesting and concerning finds! I don't think a lot of Seattle viewers are going to take kindly to someone who worked at OAN not once but twice.

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...
