Seattle Lifestyle Show Will Go


Sources say Studio 13 Live on Fox 13 will end its run in early fall.    It was a year ago this month that co-host Carly Henderson was laid off.   No word on how this might affect remaining host Mireya Garcia, but  she's very versatile on-air.   The program debuted in Jan. 2023 as an hour at 10 a.m., but now is just 30 minutes at 11.  

Meanwhile, the Studio 13 time slot will be taken over as of Thursday for a FIFA World Cup Live Preview Show from the network, putting the lifestyle show on hiatus. 

It will also replace some hours of Good Day Seattle, according to the station program grid.

    I won't miss it at all. Studio 13 never appealed to me. I perceived it to be filler material with some possible $ kickbacks.

    Yes there was some pay for play going on during the run. It will give New Day NW a bump.

    While I won't miss Studio 13 Live, I am sorry to see it go. The loss of local programming is rarely a good thing.

    Maybe they will put a morning sports show around that time slot.

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...
