27 year career ending? — Matt Markovich began reporting for KOMO 4 News in 1994, but he also reports and produces for several nationally syndicated programs and networks including The Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, Learning Channel, PBS, Lifetime and ABC.
“It’s my last day at KOMOTV. We could not reach an agreement on a contract extension. But there’s more tread left on my tires, more stories to tell and electeds to hold accountable. I’m excited to see where my wheels will take me.”

I really enjoyed Matt Markovich on KOMO & will miss him. I hope he is somewhere safer because I worried about his work on the severe homelessness problem in Seattle. KOMO should have done everything to keep him. There are some good young reporters but we need the seasoned ones too.

Matt, so sorry to see you leave KOMO. You’ve been one of the biggest reasons I’ve watched. Good luck in your next endeavor, I hope we see you again reporting in Seattle. Hopefully on another station or a VLOG. Until then take care.

This man was the only guy showing it like it has become. As lifelong Puget Sounder born in Burien 1959, I was sheltered from the city until I worked 4 years in SOdo . Saw what was happening to this city. What a bunch of idiots running the show, unbelievable. The people getting a free ride have no hope anyway, maybe 1 in 10, the rest are lost soles choking the majority of normal functioning humans. Kick the bums out, I have a better idea if anyone wants toi hear it.
Thank you Matt Markovich for attempting and succeeding in getting the story out there; I know you worked for a bunch of dopes concerned with selling garbage to the blinded population. More power to you, keep showing the BS, maybe the dopes in charge will see someday.

To be honest, except for a rare few, the local TV media is complicit with those destroying Seattle. Most reporters and anchors are transplants and have no REAL tie to Seattle or the Northwest. Seattle is just a career pit stop for them.
Seattle is on life support.
Thanks Matt. Enjoy the next chapter of your life.
