Fox will have a 6pm Newscast on KCPQ-TV.

They basically moved the 8pm off of fox13+ over to fox13 and moved to it 6pm

If you only listen to their voices, new KIRO anchor Aaron Wright and KING weekend anchor Steve Soliz sound like the same guy.....

Well, there is a San Antonio connection. Soliz is from San Antonio and Wright worked there for several years.

Maybe TEGNA is testing synthetic voices and CGI anchors using Artificial Intelligence?

Maybe that can feed in some old newscast footage and create a "Barry Judge voice" anchor-bot.

And maybe they could resurrect synthetic versions of: Robin and Maynard, Pat Cashman, Gary Lockwood, Pat O'Day, Aaron Brown, Jeff Renner, Gary Justice, and Walter Cronkite. It would be such a massive collection of talent, that landfill's would be chock full of cell phones, as people return to just listening to Seattle radio stations and limiting their TV viewing to only three channels..

That's my thinking... she's now at KOMO.

Rebecca is in fact, now at KOMO.

Rebecca is in fact, now at KOMO.

Yeah, I figured. She's now been at every Seattle station except KCPQ.

She was at KCPQ doing early mornings before KING.

Everett native Christopher Nunley joins the forecast team beginning in March

So, it will be "Here is Dr. Chris Nunley with the forecast"? Honestly, sounds like a great hire.

One of the stations in Phoenix had a PhD on their weather staff and the anchors called him "Dr. Matt" which was pretty obnoxious, tbh.

Which means anyone who subs for the guy gets to be called "Dr. Fill".

Dr. Matt Pace was at KPNX, but I was thinking of Dr. Frank Field of NYC tv fame back in the day.

Welcome to the Seatte/Tacoma market! Rent, don't buy.

KING: For heaven sakes, get another meteorologist -- so you don't work your weather team to death.

It's another month (at least) until the new guy arrives from Austin.

Three mets + Kilbreath here and there is way to small of a staff to cover all their newscasts so look who had to work Saturday night.

I haven't seen Marriott on an evening shift since the 90s. The jeans plus open collar and a blazer is ... different.

 

[KMan]

In addition to having 70-something Rich Marriott work evenings, the flew in Thomas Patrick from KREM to work weekend mornings.

Adam Claibon is on vacation so they are really short.
