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.

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.    

UPDATED: Seattle TV Weather Wizard's Finale

Her goodbye post below! After an almost five-year stint, FOX 13 meteorologist and part-time news anchor Abby Acone ends her run there with a final show on this Sunday morning.  Married earlier this month, she left no word on what's next.  Not sure if it is fully her decision, but I'm told she had 'favored nation' status with news management.  Before joining 13 in December of 2021, she worked three years at KOMO and also did a stint in Tri-Cities. Fittingly, this last shot on IG is studio appropriate.    I've been frequently critical of her on this site for using the station's studio to post questionable videos (IMO), but for now, good luck.   Here's Abby's goodbye post: My heart is so full as I reflect on my final week at FOX 13 ❤️ 🥹 I’m incredibly grateful for my time here and for the remarkable people who made this place feel like home. I’ve had the joy of working alongside some of the most talented, hardworking, and genuinely wonderful people in th...

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.
