Which PNW TVs get the most YouTube views?



Found an interesting survey running from last Sunday, Oct. 25 through tomorrow, ranking the top 100 local stations with the most YouTube views.  Fox 13 is the highest in the PNW with KGW and KING following.  Might be surprised about KOMO and KIRO.    L.A. stations vie for the lead, but there are some surprise markets doing well in the top 10.

Take a peek.  There will be a quiz.

    It's a good list. I'm not surprised about KOMO/KIRO, in fact I could not find KIRO. That probably tells us a lot about how much the stations are A. investing in their YouTube product and B. advertising that on their newscasts and elsewhere. Speaking of TV station YouTube, KING is airing their weekly HS football game on there tonight in addition to K5+. Egan announced that on socials this morning. And it might be the first time he can get away with being a homer announcer too (Puyallup HS, his alma mater, is playing in the game). So it will be interesting to see how the viewership numbers track between the two sources to see if this impacts what they may do with this coverage next year

    Yup, no KIRO. Interesting to see Albany and Louisville up high.

      I was surprised to see Louisville and Albany ranking as high as they were. I would have expected stations in the top markets to fully consume the list, which they didn't.

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.
