hi, I’ll miss her on my morning TV in Reno. C’grats on getting back to your home area, a bigger market, and presumably more $$.

Winkel’s nasel-ly voice and run on sentences drive me nuts. Can’t listen to her for 5 mins. I switch channels

“And, that’s the way it is…”

Haven’t watched a Seattle TV newscast in years. Most “story tellers” last a year and then move to another market to share all their tweets, posts, and glam shots. Substance and professionalism has been exchanged for poses, selfies, and “look at me” moments.

Nope nope nope nope. Are all the annoying ones coming to Seattle?
Jason Remington • July 19, 2023
There are still plenty of annoying ones in this country to spread around to new markets. It is a revolving door. They only seem to stay for so long and then they are on their way to “greener pastures.” Besides, if the over-the-air industry is dying, this is truly more like musical chairs and soon there won’t be many chairs left to claim.

She’s too valley-girl and nasally. Better then Mireya Garcia’s bobbing head and fake laugh though. Chynna Greene and her energy will be missed.

Your gain, our loss! (It was wonderful to meet you, Taylor, along with your husband and Arlo at P.J.’s a few months ago. Reno will miss you.)
Tanya and Bob Hart

Would KING even consider her today?
Jason Remington • June 10, 2023
A little too white.
