Amazon Prime wheels in Brian Williams for election coverage; Former Seattle tv reporter gets callback

Amazon Prime is not my go-to for tv programming, not even for football on Thursday nights. The amazing mammoth drop-shipping company has set up studios and is readying talent for election night coverage.
I’m hearing a rumor from a dodgy source that Tubi and Pluto tv are vying for Dennis Bounds to cover election results.

While all of KIRO’s anchors and reporters were out investigating stories and unable to give the weather forecast Saturday night, management pulled out an old Rolodex, blew the dust off, and called back Scott Haveson from 2003 (see video above from 2003). The good thing about Haveson is that he now has a fulltime job with regular income (Seattle-Queen Anne offices of Windemere) so he can choose to take a side gig when he feels like it. I’m guessing Barry Judge was not available or may have passed on. (Judge is seen in video clips from 1991, below.)


Speaking of apps and streaming tv – MyFree DirecTV is a free, ad-supported streaming service that will launch on November 15, 2024. MyFree DirecTV is intended to be a starting point for consumers to experience DirecTV, and to get them interested in its pay TV packages.
Content includes live TV channels, on-demand movies, series, and shows, and content across genres like news, sports, entertainment, and kids’ shows. The service will be viewable on the web, mobile devices, and select media players and smart TVs. The interface uses DirecTV’s You TV interface, which combines a user’s most watched content and selected favorites. Additional channels will be added throughout 2025.

In the latest edition of “Inside the Arena!” (episode 21), KOMO Sports Director Niko Tamurian and KOMO News Senior Reporter Chris Daniels reflect on the life and career of Seattle TV legend Tony Ventrella, who passed away at the age of 80.

    Before KIRO, I’m pretty sure KSTW used it when they were a CBS affiliate… I seem to remember them calling it “11 on 11.”
