Oregon Media Insiders

Until recently, she (Mary Loos) worked as a weathercaster/entertainment reporter at Northwest Cable News in Seattle. According to what I'v read recently, she will be joining Paul Linnman on the Morning Update -- weekday mornings on 1190am KEX.

She's been working at NWCN for a while, last I remember. Here's her bio information:

This may help you a little bit of who she is:

Ms. Loos has apparently joined the staff of KGW as a fill in meteorologist.
She's from NWCN in Seattle and from what I've seen of her, is a welcome and knowledegable addition.

This afternoon, I saw a major blunder on KPTV's 4 o'clock news. The report centered on the acquittal of a Lake Oswego swimming coach, Don King on sex abuse charges. King was found NOT GUILTY of sex abuse charges. But when the anchor introduced the piece on the King acquittal, KPTV showed a picture of boxing promoter Don King – the wrong Don King. Someone at KPTV really screwed up. I think they owe Don King the boxing promoter an apology.

Mary Loos.

Fresh from her duties over at NWCN. So NWCN has lost Mary Loos and Rebecca Stevenson in one fell swoop...who's doin' the seven day at NWCN now?

Just as an aside, how did you get that clear screen capture?

I don't like her delivery. It's very monotone and cold. From what I have heard of her on KEX, she hasn't added much there either. She's about as dry as toast.

Is that a ring on her finger?
Her and Jack JUST started dating again....

that's brutal. someone call don king.

of our business? I'm an on-air anchor here in Portland and when I get a large zit or cut on my face, I figure that's always ammunition for speculation. If you don't want people wondering about your private life, clothing you wear, or annoying habits, don't get on TV. Just relax. If she has a ring people want to know what's up with it.

She was also KING's AM Weekend meteorologist. She's awesome.

I caught her first show on KGW and thought she did a great job. Not sure where Mr/.Ms anonymous got the "cold and monotonous" from -- she seemed friendly enough and knew what she was talking about, and is cute too. Waaaay cuter than some of 8s other weather folk. Always happy to see a talented woman in front of (or behind) the camera.

Anyone see Steph's meltdown Friday?

I feel bad for her.

I thought they hired a wx girl from Tucson?

I've never been able to figure out the rotation of news stories. Is it on a pre-determined taped loop? On days when I am trying to keep up on a story, I see the exact same sequence of stories.
How often does the loop run? When there is breaking news, does it break in or do they cut a new loop.
May seen like a silly question -- but trying to figure out how up-to-date the news is on the cable station.
thanks.
