Live Desk to Main Channel?


Based on the cable grid, with Sherri's program gone, it appears FOX 13 will simulcast its Live Desk from noon to 2 pm on the main channel after Labor Day.    Live Desk will continue past 2 pm on 13+.    Jennifer Hudson syndie show airing 11-noon.    Meanwhile, Drew Barrymore's show eventually replaces Kelly Clarkson on KOMO at 2 pm weekdays.  Can't tell your shows without a program!

    I thought Fox 13's Live Desk was only live from 1pm to 4pm on weekdays online and on Fox 13 Plus. Does this mean its expanding to four hours, in addition to expanding to the main channel?

    Looks that way, they did hire a new Live Desk reporter, Felicia Michelle, as I posted in late July. We shall see. Nothing official.

    I thought that they were going to expand more with Good Day Live and some other shows for Fox Local Seattle app and on Fox 13 plus. Didn't you report this a few months ago?

      Yes, back in April, I believe. But that was before Sherri was cancelled as was Studio 13 Live. Jennifer Hudson Show moves from 1pm.to 11 am. I don't see any title changes on the cable grid. Says live desk 12-2 on Fox 13 and 13+, then live desk 2-4 on 13+.only. Lots of change in play in five months. We shall see how it all lands.

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.
