KING 5 Evening Magazine’s Kim Holcomb announces:
It feels surreal to post this but I’m making a major life change: I’ve decided to not renew my contract and I’m leaving KING & Evening. I’m so proud of everything I’ve accomplished during my almost 18 years at the station, and I’m eternally grateful for every viewer who’s watched and supported our show. But, a lot has changed in the past 1.5 years and I feel like it’s time to step away, move forward and try something different (which sounds like a weird jig but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.) I’m not sure what comes next, but I’m thrilled to find out! Thanks for being a part of my little life.
Thanks to EstoyListo for the heads up on this story!

Dear Kim…
I don’t completely agree with this ol saying “WHY DO ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE TO COME TO AN END”. But in your case Kim, we are experiencing just that. I’m a 74 Year old grandpa and Seattle lifer and I will miss you tremendously. You have touched all of the NW with your smile, laughter, and kindness. And least I forget, putting up with the boys! The best to you and your family Kim wherever life takes you.

What a shame! She was my favorite, always genuinely intrigued and thoughtful. She gave the best celebrity interviews. Saint and John… well. I hope they can carry the weight. I hope she lands somewhere cool where she is appreciated and will flourish.

So sad to hear Kim is leaving Evening. Love her laugh & she is the best interviewer out there. If she’s intimidated by a celeb, it doesn’t show, she is still her genuine self. King5, don’t let her go! Love you Kim. Wishing you success & happiness in whatever you do next.

Why not share why Kim is leaving?
What did the KING 5 CEOs do to her?
We love her, we love all of Evening,
But…
All of the City of Seattle is going down tubes, rules are ignored, crime is rampant, so I hope she will go somewhere safe and enjoy.

Yea it will come out soon. Read between the lines. Kim will be hard to replace. Bit I guess I said the same about John Curley!

Sorry to see Kim leave. She is a true asset to Evening Magazine. We have been watching it since it began with Penny and Brian. I saw her on Amity’s program today and sounded like she might know what she will be up to but couldn’t say or maybe I was just reading something into the conversation.
All the best to you, Kim. You will truly be missed.

Will miss Kim. Who is bigger disappointment King 5 or Mariners.

Mariners. They are a garbage franchise. I wish Stanton would sell to an owner that cares about winning.

For someone like Kim to leave after so many years at a job she loves — there must be a problem at KING 5 no one is speaking about.

Going on what the stated hiring objectives of KING 5 are, Kim’s “exit” comes as no surprise. I always thought she did a good job and was largely responsible for it’s success.

Vanessa Pearson says:
So sorry to see Kim leaving KING 5. She is a fabulous member of the evening trio and her comments are well said. She is polished, professional and charming as an evening television host. Best Wishes in the future Kim!
