From: Mireya Garcia:   Today was Studio 13 Live’s Final Episode!  But don’t worry, I am not going anywhere. All the things you love about the show are moving to the 9 and 10am hour of Good Day Seattle. So, we will see each other there! Huge thank you to my friend, Radio King, and fill-in host Bender with Mornings with Jodi & Bender for suiting up and joining me live on set on this special day. ❤️  I’m so excited to keep working with this incredible crew on the best morning show in Seattle!

I appreciate this tip from one of my loyal readers, letting me know Fox 13 Seattle posted a web story and pictures of their new facility scheduled to open in November.  Apparently David Rose got an early tour, which is nice since he failed to show up as lead anchor at the 'Bite of Seattle' shooting.  The layout is similar to KING's 'under one roof' design of 2016.  The story says it will mean better access to 'regional' news stories.   Uh huh.  Sure.  Regional?  Better than being on Westlake??  But the big question is will Met Abby Acone stop doing offensive Instagram posts about sexuality in the new studio?    As they say in TV, 'only time will tell.'   BTW, this will leave KIRO with the absolute WORST newsroom in Seattle TV and I douby Apollo/Cox cares.   Unless they have rehabbed it, it is a rabbit warren. https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/fox-13-seattle-downtown-seattle-move

Hearing from a good source that KUOW-FM broke the recall story on Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson simply by calling the election office every day to see if anyone filed.   Good leg work.   The petitioners are apparently an elderly couple from North Seattle.   

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."  

I may be a little late on this one, but KING's Evening EP, Meghan Stewart has departed her position with no word on what's next.  Apparently, her husband, Chris Smith, who worked in Marketing there, is also gone.  No update. 

Looks like Studio 13 on Fox 13 goes away at the end of this week, according to a source.  Last show live Thursday.   I note on the cable grid that on Monday, a Washington Sports Wrap rerun will start air at 11 a.m. next week in a strange morning and very dated position, but perhaps trying to fill a void whereThe Ultimate Sports Show used to air on KONG at 10 and got some traction, and moved to 3 on KING.     I assume host Mireya Garcia will continuue news anchoring in the mornings and her Spanish newscast.
