Meteorologist/reporter, Abby Acone jumps into the fray at FOX 13. As one door closes, someone from another station walks in, as they say. December 2 is her final day at KOMO tv and her next stop is duty at FOX 13 KCPQ.
Weathercaster/reporter Nikki Torres hit her one-year anniversary at KATU 2/Portland and says “Let’s go for a second round.”
This is a troubling thought from KIRO Traffic gal, Tracy Taylor: “Brain injuries are something. Was having a conversation, where I totally blanked. Totally forgot. It sounded like I didn’t know what I was talking about. This has been happening more often since the crash a few years ago.”
I can tell you it may just be old age, Tracy. Sorry to say.
Former KING 5 reporter, Joe Fryer and Peter Alexander, formerly with KCPQ 13, join Kristen Welker on Black Friday at NBC’s Today show.

BTW: All the women on KOMO are personable, professional & friendly when they are off the job site & out in public.

Part Time.weekend —— Full Time daily. Don’t overthink this. Fox scored with Abbey in the mornings. Not much of a Komo fan anymore.

Abby was great on Facebook live feed at komo and talked to her followers with a professional informative attitude thanks you will be missed

That personally enjoyed her informative and personable approach not many newscasters have the same approachable demeanor she will be missed on my favorite broadcast

I may be the only one who is happy she left Komo news. I couldn’t get over her sing-song voice and Pippi longstocking vibe.

I Love femi doing sports news. . Sad komo didn’t keep him & replaced him after mike retired with Niko. Might be time to switch stations (kiro out) .agree abby thorough in reporting weather & news-refreshing

She got a bit lippy, and the Head at KOMO showed her the door as it smacked her in the face. If you just do what you’re told then she would still be there. You just need to push aside the ego which will send most people in TV out the door. =)

She worked at KOMO for several weeks after announcing she was leaving. If management had a beef with someone, there would be an immediate dismissal. Doubtful that Abby Acone got mouthy with anyone. The news staff gave her a warm send-off and there were no stories of discord among the ranks.

KOMO always has a problem with weather casters ever since Steve Pool left. Even Theren Zahn left and went to another station in Seattle for a while then came back to KOMO.

I saw this opinion and instantly thought…. this really needs no reply. I doubt very seriously that she had problems of any kind.
Debbie Howell • December 17, 2021
Why did she leave????
radiofollower • December 17, 2021
Good question Debbie and the answer is…..she never really stated a reason for leaving (that I know of) and if you have read all of our postings/comments on this here, most of us really do not know.There is a lot of movement within the broadcast industry here locally and Abby was one of them.Maybe she got a better offer over at Q13Fox, who knows?…Maybe someone else here will add to what I have said “if” they have an actual reason for Abby switching stations.
