April3, 2024 —It looks like another one bit the dust. Kevin Ko has been removed from the KIRO7 news site.

That could be by choice or a contractual issue. Kevin Ko has not posted on Facebook or Twitter in many months. No update on his situation.
Why he has not kept up on social media posting (not even any dance videos or Tiktoks!!!!) might be an issue since stations push their personalities to be OUT THERE. — Jason

I miss Kevin Ko so much! What is wrong with KIRO news? He was so versatile and with a great personality. And just like with Michelle Mellman, she disappeared and they wouldn't give us any information. I even called the Station because I was concerned that she was sick, and was told that she is fine but they are unable to give out any informaion about her. I am very upset about this. Kevin has a great future, unfortunately, KIRO did not see it!
We are no longer watching KIRO in the morning. Kevin Ko was our reason for watching. We love Nick....but the rest of that crew is unwatchable. Kevin was the best reporter in the morning. KIRO..you are losing viewers every day...we are watching 13 now in the morning.
your right most of the kiro crew is a lost cause. the only reason I still watch is the only cannel I can stream for free. thanks dirk tv. thats AKA DIRECT TV.
Sad to see Kevin Ko isn't a part of KIRO7 anymore. I loved how energetic he was, he made all his reports, the traffic and weather lively. Plus, he was empathetic to the people/situations he reported about. I think everyone would agree, he was a great personality for KIRO, and there is noone alive who can top his quips!! Miss you Kevin!!
Kevin was my favorite, why would they drop him? He's awesome! Well, I'm done with KIRO, back to KOMO!
KIRO
Why no Kevin, I guess it’s back to KOMO.
He was so good
He was one of the reasons I watched Kiro. I’m so upset that he is gone. Keep the faith,I’m sure you’ll find a better place to work that will appreciate you!
What a Loss!!! I’m Not going to watch KIRO any more until you tell your viewers what happened to Kevin Ko!
Do you not care what your viewers want?
WHAT A LOSS!!!!!!
This station is ridiculous on the amount of people come and go.
Why does KIRO not respect its viewers enough to let us know where Kevin Ko has gone? We loved him. We loved him as part of the group. He was a real asset.
We deserve to know. It is so sad that he is gone.
I miss Kevin. Great energy, great smile. I trust him. MISS YOU.
