After a big announcement last week that Brandi Kruse would return with her news-interview show, THE DIVIDE, on Sunday night, FOX 13 management pulled the show again. There was a disagreement between Brandi Kruse and management over elements and format of the program.
If we hear that the program might return to FOX 13 at any time in the future, we will take that news with a grain of salt.
Something like 25% of the staff at FOX 13 have moved on to greener pastures. What will Brandi Kruse decide to do next? As of today, Kruse remains at KCPQ 13, but she could decide to take her brand elsewhere. Kruse has a following and a reputation for solid reporting.

Never found Kruse to have much to say other than the obvious.
Brandi and Dori are the main voices in this failing state that gives me some hope. They are calling out the progressive BS for what it is doing to a once great state. Glad they don't allow corporate to silence sane options. You go girl!
Brandi Kruse has always had my respect as a very bright political reporter. She now has more of that respect now that she has made a personal and moral stand on her duty to inform the public, and the direction she must go in order to fulfill that role better. I'm quite happy to follow her new venture and will be eagerly waiting for her independent venture to get underway.
Enjoyed watching Brandi on Sunday mornings, had her show on record in case I wasn't home to watch. Actually nice to see someone state the facts instead of being told what to say.
Brandi Kruse has started an independent news source:

Brandi was the best. We will miss her, and hope she stays in the Seattle market. Her fearless pursuit of the truth was a rarity in today’s agenda driven network coverage.
Love Brandi’s solid reporting! Rock Star

And you let her walk away?
Because she reports the news instead of giving an opinion? You've let you star people walk away?
kind of reminds of the record label deeming Elvis as flash in the pan, no one is interested in that crap.
Reminds of the guy that turned down investing in McCaw Cellular in the 70's Pfff what idiot will want a phone their car.
Reminds me of one of the Microsoft founders that sold his stock for like 1500.00 dollars before they grew.
Pfffft, don't gamble and buy Google stock back in the 2004 for WTF... 85.00 dollars a share? WHO CAN AFFORD That!!
Shall I go on? Fox 13 will look good as another Home Shopping Network
What in the Hell is going on at Q13??? Brandi is not the first to exit stage left. MANY of the very well know names have left. Is management the problem?
25% of the media are leaving FOX and many cities have Councilmembers not running again. So many voices leaving and history being lost. Only one view in the community
Is not healthy.
