What does this mean for Seattle Hockey fans?


KOMO Senior News Reporter posts this after the Stanley Cup Finals.  Clicks, click, clicks.  Good for you Chris. The Hartford Whaler logo from the great beyond.  Stonehenge.   Meaningless.   I don't get it at all.  Why?   Pick your poison.  Covering sports business or pushing old hockey logos?  No young folks care.   Cover City Hall more.

  1. Its a nice logo, but what is the point that Daniels is trying to make by posting it? I'd like to know what the thinking is.

  2. Did Chris wrong you at some point? Reporters are allowed to cover more than one beat.

    1. Not at all, he's probably the best street reporter in the market.

    2. If I'm not mistaken, he may also be the longest tenured reporter on Seattle television at this point as well.

  3. This Wayne was the back end of what I think was a two-part post by Daniels, the first part of which was the more news-worthy piece. Carolina's owner is the guy who bought the Blazers from Jody Allen and possibly could be mixed up in a potential Seahawks purchase as well although he hasn't been officially ID'd as a presumed Seahawk bidder. That said, he wasn't reported in the mix down in Portland either to buy the Blazers and his purchase of that team was a surprise to a lot of people. So we will see. As for the logo, that particular one has gained a lot of renewed popularity in recent years and the Hurricanes actually have a section on their team store devoted to Whalers merchandise.

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...
