Former Seattle TV Weather Wizard looking for viewers

MJ McDermott, ex-Fox 13 meteorologist, says her sons are going to be playing on Netflix:

"I got to be interviewed on KIRO Radio yesterday about the fun circumstance of both of my twin sons playing George Washington in the Netflix documentary "The American Experiment" - which debuts tomorrow! Angela Poe Russell read my earlier Facebook post about this (below) and asked me to come in a chat about it on air.

What fun! I got to meet Ursula Reutin, whom I've heard many times on KIRO. And Angela interviewed me too. What a hoot! They were both warm and gracious. And the conversation became a little about our kids - being moms of 20-somethings.

Let me know if you watch "The American Experiment" on Netflix. Let me know what you think. And if you catch Patrick and/or Kirby as GW!"

Tune in!

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
