Filling in on the anchor desk this morning at KIRO 7, Liz Burch. Burch is a former KOIN 6 News reporter and anchor, who joined that station in November 2020 and left in June 2023. Before returning to the Pacific Northwest, Liz worked in Tampa as a multimedia journalist and fill-in anchor and in Asheville, North Carolina, as a reporter and anchor. Before that, she spent several years in Spokane working as a producer and reporter.
If KIRO didn’t have such high turn-over/lay-offs, they wouldn’t always be dipping into the hiring pool.

Watched KIRO for the first time tonight in a long while. Noticed a new co-anchor, Madeline Ottilie next to Mama Bear. Seems she’s already experienced ‘musical chairs’, so she’ll fit right in: https://www.wvxu.org/media/2024-07-08/madeline-ottilie-leaves-wcpo-tv-news-tvkiese

Liz Burch must be free-lancing at KIRO tv because she is on often, but does not have a bio posted on the KIRO 7 website even weeks after her debut.

Welcome Liz. Nice seeing a pleasant smile. In the morning before starting the day. Past station’s lost out and we got lucky.
And happy holidays to you and your family

Frankie Katafias is the weather
woman i am wondering if is coming back?
QZVX Admin • December 14, 2024
No response about Frankie Katafias from KIRO folks, no answer when phone calls are made to KIRO– so let’s make up a story. Anybody? Conspiracy theory?

When is KIRO 7 going to get back their weather women that
work weekends?
Groob • December 13, 2024
One of them now works for Channel 13. The other is out on maternity leave.

Ava Wainhouse took over anchor duties in the Tri-Cities https://www.qzvx.com/2024/09/10/wainhouse-moves-from-spokane-to-yakima-tri-cities/ in September– shuffling the deck chairs there.
Now, it appears that Burch, recently wed, is honeymooning at KIRO 7.
How long before we see Ava at FOX 13? Seems logical.

Interesting move that Burch made in 2023. She left Portland to work in Yakima. Now, KIRO. https://www.qzvx.com/2023/11/04/liz-burch-from-portland-to-yakima/
