Brock gets his TV Break on Seattle Cable


Hired Brock Huard in the 2005 Super Bowl season to co-host a brand new call-in post game talk show after the Seahawks game ended on the networks.  Called The Fone Zone.  Big success with him and Chris Egan and he soon parlayed it into bigger and better things nationally after several years. 

From Brock on social:  'Thank you NWCN & ⁦@ChrisEgan5⁩ for the opportunity."

  1. They still look the same 20 years later! Both a great asset to sports journalism.

    1. They are. Egan is an institution at KING and while Brock has scaled back his duties in recent years to just the radio show due to his high school coaching commitments with his son, once that is done, I would love for NBC to get him for college football and reunite him with Benetti for Big 10 games

    2. Well, living in Colorado is more central to travel someday.

    3. Yes. And that was one of the reasons why he moved down there. His son's HS football season opens next week if you can believe it Wayne

    4. I can believe it. More and more school districts are going back before Labor Day now than in years past, and this has been the case in some parts of the country longer than it has been in others. Its a more recent phenomenon here in the Northwest from what I've seen.

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.
