Fox 13s weakened Live Desk hits Rock Bottom



What is this segment posing as news when it's supposed to be the latest breaking material?  Total joke with an anchor and producer talking to each other about a worthless, meaningless topic.  Who thought this up?  Overkill video Live Desk dead.   No wonder nobody cares what's on Fox 13.

Bad year for 13 so far.   July 4th Seafair fireworks show and Torchlight terribly under produced.  Studio 13 Live cancelled.  No wall to wall TV coverage during Bite of Seattle shooting and lead anchor Rose not in. Two weather people anchoring news on weekdays and weekends.  Weather wizard posting offensive sexual comments from the studio.  Major staff defections. Current news studio with trinkets in the backdrop of the main set.   

RIP. New location won't save you.  A visit after it opens will become a Zip Trip.

  1. With the time in the lower left corner in the photo showing 1:06pm, this would appear to have aired in the A-Block of this hour, which is where the biggest stories typically run in a newscast. This could not have been one of the biggest stories of the day. If they had already run out of big stories to talk about by 1:06pm, that would be shocking! While weekends do tend to be slower newswise, there should still be enough news to fill an entire newscast without resorting to content like this.

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...

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.
