Bonneville goes Top 5




Seattle radio ratings are out for October and both Bonneville properties are in the top 5, KIRO 710 at #2 and KIRO-FM jumping from a double digit standing last month to #5.  The AM stayed in second place but dropped .7 while FM rose .8.     KNWN sank lower dropping to a 2.8. KUOW leads the pack as usual with a flat book, which seemed a bit surprising in the election cycle.   Sort out the numbers for youselves.

    KIRO-FM seems to have benefited the most from the election cycle. KUOW did well, despite being flat. Its KNWN that worries me. They shouldn't have been down in a busy pre-election month.

    I wonder if KIRO FM’s rise is attributable to the morning news , talk shows or both. I’m finding myself in the 6am hour tuning into KIRO FM , 710 AM may be playing a repeat interview I already heard. I used to switch to KVI but Ari is god awful, to me at least.

      Curley did a bunch of political talk and Harger and Factor are jelling, too

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.
