If anything positive comes from the poor judgment and mismanagement of local news programming, it will be that some day one or more of the stations either lose their license, forfeit their license due to financial losses, or lose their network affiliation and become MeTV or Comet stations.
KOMO is giving away a nifty coffee mug to winning contest entries, KIRO is tossing money to viewers. KING 5 should hold daily dance contests during the 5 pm and 11 pm newscasts.
Have Tegna, COX, and Sinclair not heard of Naked News? At least put Frankie Katafias (KIRO), Hannah Knowles (KOMO), and Conner Board (KING) in bikinis during news shows.
I’m just tossing some ideas here:
KING 5 News Dance Your Pants Off Contest
KOMO 4 News Is It Crack or Is It Meth Blind Taste Tests
or how about a tie-in with a local restaurant? KIRO 7 News Dick’s In A Box

Forget the coffee mugs. Adult diapers and colostomy bags would be more appropriate for the station’s “output”.
Suggested slogan: The station with a nose for news.

I like the idea of the bikinis and here’s my choices
1. Hannah
2. Frankie
3. Connor
As far as I’m concerned Hannah has replaced Liz as the eye candy in Seattle
But hey don’t not Como for trying to get their name out there with their coffee mugs although I don’t want to take the time for the contest I’d rather just submit your name and get lucky

Contest: Rate in order the traits of an ideal or your favorite weather girl
Has a degree in meteorology
Giggly delivery of official names for those clouds
Knock knees
Even thinking about Doppler makes her sneeze
Dimpled knees
Giggly reminders such as “don’t leave home without those galoshes, guys”
Knows her meteorology but doesn’t flaunt it
Random winners get coupons for cans of Del Monte Stewed Tomatoes

Few would know how to use those tomatoes. If it requires a recipe, call Gramma.
