  1. 'Meta announces layoffs for over 1,300 employees in WA'

    Jason Remington • May 28, 2026

    Seattle, you can thank your new mayor for this!

    On the lower end, that’s about $600 Million dollars in salaries and compensation that just disappeared from our local Puget Sound economy. *POOF*…just like that.
    It is also 20% of Meta’s workforce in the region.

    As UW Professor Jeff Shulman put it: “It affects our housing, it affects our small businesses, and it also affects the momentum of our region.”

      Katie Wilson, a socialist and woke ideologue, says she will not have her administration investigate potential home and child care fraud in her jurisdiction because she wants to protect migrants. A number of Somali care centers visited by independent journalists don’t appear to have clients or children.

        Still no response from Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson after Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Spencer Pratt vowed to bus his city’s homeless drug addicts to Wilson’s back yard.

          To be clear, Pratt never said he would bus people to Seattle, but that the people would migrate to Seattle.
          These homeless would further drain resources and continue to degrade the environment of downtown, city parks etc., and would be welcomed by the Mayor. Surely, she can find some way to tax the community under the guise of supporting these losers.

    KXLE Ellensburg has moved studios, from the old Radio Hill location, to downtown.

  4. Christians/Dads not welcomed by "Supergirl"

    Duke Stern • May 22, 2026

    New ‘Supergirl’ star Milly Alcock pushed back against online critics ahead of the film’s release, saying many of the people criticizing her past comments are anonymous “burner accounts” and profiles identifying themselves as “Dad of four, Christian” accounts.

    In a new interview with Variety, Alcock discussed the backlash surrounding her rise to the lead role in DC Studios’ upcoming “Supergirl” movie and said she has learned to tune out online outrage as scrutiny around blockbuster franchises intensifies.

    “But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about?” Alcock said. “If you’re p—ing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”

    New “Supergirl” star Milly Alcock said starring in major franchises has shown her how intensely female actors are scrutinized online.

    The actress suggested much of the hostility directed toward her comes from faceless social media users reacting emotionally online.

    “And it’s from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts,” Alcock said. “Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me.” FOX NEWS

  5. KIRO NEWSRADIO JOINS ABC NEWS RADIO

    Jason Remington • May 22, 2026

    Charlie Harger: The ABC newscasts begin later today. They’re good. We’re in good hands. But after 99 years, including 90 years right here at KIRO, I said it to a former head of CBS Newsradio just yesterday — It’s a damn shame.

    1. ABC newscasts on KIRO

      Steve • May 23, 2026

      I agree with you, Jason. It’s going to seem strange listening to the top of the hour ABC News on both KIRO and KNWN (former KOMO). At least you will have the choice of listening to the broadcast on either AM or FM.

      1. AM & FM/FM

        Jason Remington • May 23, 2026

        Side by side on the FM dial, two ABC affiliates, news/newstalk formats. Weird for Seattle… and likely the same in many major markets (multiple ABC affiliates).

      2. Saturday Infomercials

        Jason Remington • May 30, 2026

        I don’t know what program it was, some financial guru talking about investing in gold and silver, airing midday on both KIRO 97.3 and KNWN 97.7, same time, same episode. There was a few seconds delay between KIRO and KNWN. Saturday programming is a wasteland anyway.

  6. NEWSPAPER STRIKE OK'D

    Reader Submission • May 22, 2026

    Unionized McClatchy journalists in Washington state and Idaho officially voted this week to approve a strike after failing to come to an agreement with the company over wages during contract negotiations. (A previous vote taken last month was a “procedural step,” according to the unions.) If the unions do choose to strike, up to 50 journalists across the Idaho Statesman, Tacoma News Tribune, Bellingham Herald, Olympian and Tri-City Herald could walk off the job.

      No reporting regarding this matter on the Tacoma Tribune. The Olympia paper reports: Journalists at The Olympian will join four other Pacific Northwest newspapers in strike against McClatchy Media

        The Tacoma News Tribune ain’t what it used to be. The State Street headquarters closed years ago and printing is being done in Vancouver, WA.

    Maddie White and Drew Andre – KING 5 News reporters (married couple) moved on to KPIX tv San Francisco.

  8. KNX (ABC)

    Jason Remington • May 21, 2026

    KNX Los Angeles & KCBS San Francisco have taken up with the ABC Radio network, following the demise of CBS Radio today.

    1. WBBM makes early switch

      Duke Stern • May 21, 2026

      CBS Radio is set to broadcast its final network newscasts Friday, but the owner of WBBM-AM 780 apparently didn’t want to wait.

      On Thursday, Chicago’s all-news station, along with 16 other CBS News Radio affiliates across the Audacy chain, quietly flipped the switch to ABC News, according to a source familiar with the situation. ABC News reports, including top-of-the-hour updates and breaking news coverage, will replace the programming long provided by CBS, which is pulling the plug on its century-old radio network.

      ABC News had already supplanted CBS News at the top of the hour as of Thursday afternoon on WBBM-AM 780 and 105.9 FM. That means the iconic five-note CBS News Radio sounder has rung out for the last time – without fanfare – on the Chicago airwaves.

      Making the move to ABC for national and international news a day ahead of the swan song for CBS was meant to ensure a smooth on-air transition for the 17 Audacy-owned CBS News Radio affiliates across the country, according to the source. The abrupt network change does not impact local newsroom staffing or programming, the source said.

      Existing Audacy-owned ABC affiliates such as 1010 WINS in New York and KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, will continue their longstanding relationships with ABC News, the source said.
