I like this station... They have good traffic alerts every 10 minutes. And daily 10am-2pm they have the commentators which I also like. I feel like I get a good balance of political commentary when I listen to that program. KOMO 1000 is a good way to keep up with whats going on. read more

News reporting on tv needs to be reviewed for volume going up and down when reporter switches to interviewing or showing a related story. I called the station to ask/complain about it and got the answer that '..no one has reported about it ...' . Which gives me the impression that my call/complaint is just another whistle in the wind. read more

Worst "local" BIASED news in the Northwest. Just watch Fox "Entertainment." It's the same crap KOMO feeds on the daily. Horrible reporting, horrible reporters. Cancel them already!! read more

Shannon O'Donnell is the best. Hands down. No comparison to others, thorough, easy to understand and genuine integrity.

Paul Rivera did this news clip and completely ignored the fact that Snoqualmie Police non-emergency calls are automatically routed to 911!!!! The KOMO 4 video features a caller who is very angry at Snoqualmie police because they were in charge of investigating her sexual assault case when they had a very clear conflict of interest in doing the investigation and were told so many times. The victim (angry caller featured in the video) was assaulted in 2019 and Snoqualmie PD has control over the DNA for her case and SPD refuses to provide information about what is happening for her rape kit. The victim has called the department since 2019 to try and get them to respond to her which they are required to do. The new Snoqualmie Police Chief is aware of this and he along with the city administration have been trying to portray the victim as mentally unstable, which she is not. The victim is a rare example of speaking out about her being nearly killed during her assault and refusing to remain silent while the Snoqualmie PD tries to portray her as mentally deficient. I have production from King County regarding this case, and the City of Snoqualmie has lied for years about this case and do incredible things to try and discredit her. Yes, the victim is angry and her tone in the recording is reasonable given how the City of Snoqualmie has harassed and lied about her for years. I sent a complaint about her treatment by 911 dispatchers with a video of her calling the non-emergency number and the dispatcher telling her to call 988 - while she was in the Snoqualmie PD station in front of the mental health professional that the City of Snoqualmie hired. The mental health professional clearly heard she and I calling the non-emergency phone number and Issaquah dispatch answering the call - and after the mental health professional listened and saw the phone call, the mental health professional accused the victim of calling 911 over and over when the mental health professional just observed that the victim was NOT calling 911 but the non-emergency phone number was being answered by 911 dispatch. The victim is a well-respected schoolteacher, has a master's degree and recognized for her professional achievements including bringing her class to the UN and teaching illiterate children in Guatemala how to read in their language. This victim is not the only victim who has been ignored by the Snoqualmie PD. Both victims were assaulted after going to the same establishment in downtown Snoqualmie. Both victims are very angry with the Snoqualmie PD ignoring their rape kits. Regarding abuse of 911, an investigation of a previous Snoqualmie Police Captain who was hired as chief for the City of Brier. This ex-Police Captain wasn't investigated until he went to a different city. "An independent investigation of City of Brier Police Chief Nick Almquist found that he made "untruthful, calculated, and misleading" statements." Nick Almquist is no longer with the City of Brier shortly after being hired. This investigation was regarding using 911 services from the county without communicating with the county nor having an interlocal agreement for their services. Another ex-Snoqualmie police officer was also investigated after going to the City of Brier: "A separate city investigation determined that Brier Lt. Chad Ridout - who left the force in September - also made leadership mistakes in his position." https://mltnews.com/investigation-finds-brier-police-chief-misled-city-lieutenant-made-leadership-mistakes-part-2/ I filed a complaint with Issaquah PD regarding how the SA victim was treated by dispatch when she called the non-emergency phone number and included a video of how they treated her. They have been advised that this angry caller should not be given any support, which King County Sexual Assault Resource Center has explained to the SA victim is inappropriate. Now, the City of Snoqualmie wants to criminalize someone who calls EITHER 911 or the non-emergency phone number. The victims have contacted other state and federal agencies regarding the abuse of victims in Snoqualmie have received by Snoqualmie City and Police administrators. We have had complaints about Snoqualmie Police Administration by Snoqualmie police officers (see articles in Seattle Times - "Nick Hogan"). Complaints about holding church services in the police station. State legislation was written for more police accountability, in response to problems with Snoqualmie hiring a fired officer with a 1,000-page discipline file - the article includes a link to a video of the officer's abuse of force and the City of Snoqualmie knowing that the previous police department fired him for abuse of force. https://komonews.com/news/local/snoqualmie-police-dispatch-911-calls-harass-city-council-ordinance-harassment-harassing-phone-center-issaquah-north-bend-washington-public-safety-response-time-resources-emergency-line-no-call-too-small read more

This comment was made by Keith Eldridge after interviewing a person who had accused my husband of sexual abuse. Mind you, my hisband had already been investigated and cleared. Because of this interaction with the news the case was reopened. He had zero right to perpetuate this fabrication and absolutely zero evidence. He believed this woman just because she opened her mouth. He did not look into her past to see that she had a criminal record, filed bankruptcy, and moves all the time. Just believed her.... And ruined my husband's reputation in the process. For the 2nd time, my husband was cleared after the investigation. Will Keith be coming out to cover that? I'd really like to get the truth out there. I would like to how how I can go about pressing charges on Keith and KOMO. Where do I file a complaint before I get my lawyer involved? Thank you Cheryl Miller read more

KOMO TV - Still trying to get information on how to press charges on Keith Eldridge and KOMO for posting this statement based on lies. - Television Stations Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I haven't watching the morning news for a while this long wow. Sisters r doing it for themselves. Very scenic news. I think their Crew is very good. read more

I just sent this to the Programming Manager. We have been fans of KOMO News ever since we moved to the PacNW 12 years ago. They were the best...and now they aren't. Here's my email: "Ever since you were acquired by Sinclair, the quality of your programming has suffered. The 'must run' segments are nothing more than right-wing propaganda. The women newsreaders apparently have been told to wear certain-colored clothes, with changes in hairstyles and color, and the obvious copying of Fox News 'Fox and Friends' layout is inane. The 'Boris and Natasha' show is irking and obvious. The new Washington 'correspondent' is a mouthpiece for Sinclair. Sinclair's engulf-and-devour business model, not MSM, is 'fake news,' and my family and I are appalled (I am 65 and my children are late 30s). Now, our news programming on Sunday evenings is gone in favor of 'American Idol.' Really? American Idol? I miss the easy-going camaraderie between the newsreaders and we, the viewers. I miss Steve Poole...I hope he decides not to come back to the shell of KOMO that exists now. You guys were the best in Seattle. I've tried for months since the acquisition to stay a viewer. I can no longer do so. I know you have absolutely no say in what Sinclair shoves on you, but I really want my voice heard. I don't expect a reply to this email, but it was important for me to send it. Thanks for listening." read more

For years KOMO has been a comfortable backdrop in our lives between 4-5:30 p.m. daily as our family returns home from work/school and transitions into our evening lives. No more. We've changed the channel. Why? The Boris & Natasha point/counterpoint segments represent everything we are trying to escape. What the hell were you thinking, KOMO? Mary, Molly, Connie, Steve, Eric and the rest: we'll miss you guys. read more

KOMO radio used to be a serious source of news. Now it sounds like middle school chatter. I was already disgusted this morning when John Rivers came on. His style was yellow journalism at its worst. I wouldn't call the plays of a volleyball game with that level of dignity; he was talking about murder and crisis in our society. I shudder to think what I would hear on the entertainment stations if this is what I get on KOMO News. read more

We really love this channel news! We are Republicans but they do a good job at not smearing our President, more so then channel 13 and they are suppose to be more Republican? We love Eric's stories and we love that their anchors that are woman dress appropriate! Can't stand the low low cut shirts and tight tight dresses and KOMO has never done that! We will continue to support this channel news. read more

I too, as much as possible, have stopped watching KOMO because of Sinclair. It used to be my go-to station back in the Fisher Broadcasting days. I didn't know if the Fisher family was liberal or conservative but growing up in Seattle in the 50s and 60s, KOMO was one of my favorites. I remember watching the first Captain Puget show on KOMO back in 1957 and then a little later "Exploration Northwest." As an adult, my favorite anchor broadcasting team was Dan Lewis, Kathi Goertzen, and Steve Pool. I still think some on-air personalities at KOMO have a lot of talent. I really like Mary Nam. However, as much as I like them and miss KOMO, I just do my best to avoid them now. It's especially sickening to see that reprehensible Boris Epshteyn give his propaganda spiel that's embedded in the newscasts at Seattle's Trump TV, KOMO. read more

The quality of this news has really gone down hill. I used to love this station and watched them for years. The vibrant blue theme is aweful. The news casters are boring and stuffy. read more

"Full Measure", seriously? What a way to ruin my Sunday morning with conservative propaganda. Please move to Fox. Boris-what's his name? I change the channel the minute he shows up. The local news team does a good job when they are able to freely cover the local news without bias. Unfortunately for them I watch other stations most of the time because I don't like being surprised by a "Boris report" or any other such conservative propaganda. Just report the straightforward and unbiased news please. read more

There was a fatal wreck on 512 near its merger with 167 today at 1:45pm. There was lots of sirens and helicopters flying over the wreck. 167 South came to a total stop. It's 6:10 pm and the highway is still proceeding at about 2 miles an hour. (I can see it from my backyard.) I called KOMO at 5 pm and reported the traffic problem to a gentleman who said "Really? Our copter flew over the wreck but we didn't realize there was still a problem." I'm watching the 6pm news and still no warning of the problem. But I forgot.....it's south of the King County line! read more

KOMO just called me and said they wanted to do a piece on my business. I was flattered that they wanted to feature me as a local business owner. After a long interview, he tells me that I have to pay $200 a month for it to be on their website. Then I felt like a fool for not realizing that it was sales call. Bad form, KOMO. Manipulative cold calling? Revision: And then they called me AGAIN a month later!!! Same tactic: "We'd like to feature you on your neighborhood's KOMO website." So manipulative. So annoying. read more

Sinclair Broadcasting. That says it all about KOMO. No more watching KOMO news since Sinclair bought KOMO. I love Steve Poole too.

I have tried to watch all the stations in Seattle for unbiased news and realized unbiased news does not exist. Of all the stations I have reviewed KOMO TV News seems to be the least biased except for the political comments on Point and Counterpoint. I started watching other stations during the 4-5 pm time because of Boris and Natasha with their political views. I want news, not political commentary. Now they are no longer on the 4-5 pm news and I am back. We still miss Steve and his sneaking snacks and pray he will be back soon. We also miss Eric's Little Heroes. read more

Komo is our favorite station to watch the news, but have to say when Abby Acone comes on with the weather, cant watch or listen to her so change the channel. Her voice and mannerisms are absolutely nauseating. I know you are never going to find another Steve Poole, but please replace her. read more

We have watched KOMO TV news for 30+ years but now, I am sorry to say, we will have to switch to another Seattle station due to the operation of Sinclair Broadcasting. We do not appreciate having our news interrupted with propaganda. If we did, we would watch Fox noise! read more

You've got to be kidding I started watching komo because King was firing people every day and letting people like Tracy Taylor go. It feels like high school or college broadcast journalism class. They make way too many mistakes. It's really unfortunate because I was finally getting used to them after watching King for 20 years. Komo step up the professionalism read more

I have not been watching the news due to negativity and unkindness in the world. I needed a break. I have been watching a few football games. The games have led into the news. Michelle and the other two women seem to get along and present the news well. I realize you have another team this evening. However, keep this group together. read more

I used to like Komo 4 news, but since they hired that meteorologist, Abby Acone, as soon as she comes on air, I have to change the channel. I didn't know where her annoying accent came from, but later I read somewhere, she has some type of speech impairment. I am sorry for her, but she could work in different area, not where thousands of viewers have to endure her very annoying speech. Komo 4 news, you lost a viewer because of her and I am sure, I am not alone, who can't stand this woman's accent. read more

I was surprised to see a Plexiderm commercial masquerading as news being aired during the 4:00 pm news. This is the kind of crap one expects to see aired at 4:00 am but not at 4:00 pm. First they began airing Sinclair political propaganda masquerading as news and now this. I will stop watching this local station. read more

I don't understand why komo news has Abby Acomo doing interviews. She comes across totally stupid wearing glasses and nodding her head 100 times a minute. The sober I'm so serious look is ridiculous. Every interview I've seen her do has been tone deaf to the subject of the interview. Bad enough she does weather.. I change the channel when she comes on...she should find a behind the scenes job if she wants to work in a newsroom. read more

Interesting comments by Maria. She is right, there doesn't appear to be ageism discrimination at KOMO. The focus on news, not flash, and their ownership of radio and other regional media allows them to be reasonably comprehensive. For the most part I flip thru the local news stations, but I might hit KOMO more often than the others. read more

I feel like Komo News only allow asians to work for them. Everytime I watch the Komo news, I hardly see any other race but asians. I have nothing against asians but I would like to see a mixed culture of news anchors reporting the news. I hope they will allow other race to be able to work for them because I hate when my daughter thinks she needs to be asian to be able to be a news anchor or journalist in order to work for a news station. I choose to watch other news stations that have a mix culture in staffing because I strongly believe that children notice these things and can affect them. read more

I don't know about anybody else but we thought the Seattle's New Year's at the space needle 2021 laser show on TV sucked! Full of commercials and the only part of the laser show is at the very end for just a few minutes. In the meantime we had to listen to random people talk about random things what a waste of time! Do you think with all the money the station has in the county and the city it could've been something Much better. Fairly poorly done! The Garcia family read more

Get stuck in traffic..tune to komo 100, traffic on the 4's...the best station for that crappy congestion that your dealing with. Plus no lil wayne or carrie underwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The Homeless documentary had false news and was so biased. One man they featured wasnt homeless for four years, but it was stated he was still homeless. They keep beating the drum against homelessness. Boris is ridiculous and Full Measure is biased as well. KOMO used to be the station I turned on. Not any longer. Do news...not commentary. If I want to hear Trump news, I'll watch FOX. Not appropriate for a local channel. read more

I don't have a tv; bu t when I watch news I watch several news sources. I am starring them today bvecause of their careful list of flood information which is neded fo rmany who need to get to work use transportation etc... thanks read more

Today a major earthquake hit Alaska. I turned on KOMO at 11 AM assuming I would get a lot of coverage of this event. They spent a few minutes on it then went on to talk about Trump signing a trade deal, hardly breaking news. So much for Sinclair not affecting KOMO's coverage of local news. Yes I consider a major Alaska earthquake local news, all the other stations, both local and national, gave it considerable time as their lead story. Apparently it is more important for a Sinclair station to get anything positive about Trump the lead story rather than cover important breaking news. read more

I watch KOMO news almost every night, but cringe when I watch Eric Johnson smirk while he reports. Bad news, sad news, he looks like he is making fun of the story. "The boy died" smirk, "the home was flooded" smirk, etc. I actually change to another station it gets me so annoyed. Go back to sports, you were tolerable then. read more

March 16, 2019 : Seattle television icon KOMO 4 News is added to the rolls of Puget Sound leaders aperhaps harolding a faint glimpse of the light at the end of the (a different) tunnel with regard to what has been tagged "The Homelessness Crisis" Eric Johnson, venerated news Anchor, laid out the logic train on this problem showing clearly that it is a DRUG PROBLEM. Homelessness, mental illness and a host of other problems stem from that. Fix the core problem first. Also presented for consideration was the idea of placing addicted persons in a repurposed McNeil Island setting and following a highly successful treatment model as practiced in Rhode Island. Now, all we need is the willpower ("guts") to do it. Voters: We'll be waiting until voters get tired of having their sidewalks used for "lavatorical" purposes, for you to get busy on this issue. It's not going to get done by itself. Let's not automatically throw the horse blanket of Right or Left Wing onto every story that comes down the pike. Frankly, I don't see this as either. read more

Y'all give bad traffic updates and the weather is not close ever. Other than that great people on here love the personalities

As all-news radio stations go, KOMO 1000 is actually pretty good. They're fast on local breaking news and traffic which is really what you need when you're in the car and best of all, I don't feel as though I'm being talked down to. Hey, I think most of what you find on AM is crap but sometimes you need to know when I-5 and I-405 are blocked or that there's a major problem in downtown - so for that I turn to 1000. read more

I,love this news station. I, actually have a friend who's a reporter for this news cast. Their radio station is also really,really gr8t!! Their both top notch when it comes to break news. They also have a hotline u can all for breaking news in ur area. I've called it a few times. read more

Komo wins in a footrace with Kiro, but only by a step.

I grew up with this station. My parents watched the news every single night of my life and only on this station. Granted, this was in the prehistoric precable days BC (before choice). I still tune in once in awhile out of loyalty and because Steve Pool is my favorite weatherman. I also get the weather delivered via email every morning. I like a station that doesn't drop it's older anchors just because they're over 30. read more
