Brian Flores begins his GOOD DAY SEATTLE weekday morning news anchor duties August 1st. He will co-anchor with Mireya Garcia from 4:30a-6a. Liz Dueweke and Bill Wixey take over from 6a-9a. Mireya Garcia and Bill Wixey anchor the 9a-10a segment. But wait there’s more! Liz Dueweke & Brian Flores will co-host the new STUDIO 13 segment of the FOX 13 morning news block which begins on September 12th, 10a-11a. FOX 13 will debut a new studio, now under construction, which will actually be dubbed Studio 13. Imagine a world where celebrity stories, TMZ-style gossip, lifestyle stories, plus food and fashion segments are produced. That is STUDIO 13, the show! (I’m so freakin’ excited!) Brian MacMillan continues as weather reporter and Adam Gehrke reports on traffic for GOOD DAY SEATTLE.
Set a reminder on your Apple watch or just say “Alexa, set a reminder to watch STUDIO 13 on FOX 13 September 12th.”
I’m doing both, I don’t want to miss a hot minute of all this tv news action.
Mireya Garcia comes to FOX 13 from FOX 25 in Oklahoma City. Prior to that Mireya worked at a station in Colorado Springs. FOX 13 adds Laura Freeman as a producer of the GOOD DAY SEATTLE news. Freeman comes from KFBB-KHBB the ABC/FOX combo covering Missoula, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena and all of Montana.
Cue the confetti!

OK. Studio 13 has had time to grow. You’ve seen it, you’ve tasted it, you know it, you love it. Sure, it’s no New Day Northwest or Seattle Refined. But I’m sure Studio 13 has built a fan base.
No?????
Those of us old enough to remember the KING 5 mid-morning show called Telescope can attest to the fact that such programs have always been somewhat cringe. Life is short. These shows have never been on my bucket list.
The most successful local program of its kind might have been Northwest Afternoon on KOMO when Cindi Rinehart would spill the tea concerning daytime soap operas. But the soaps are now a thing of the past. With linear tv viewership falling, programs like Studio 13 may go the way of Dialing for Dollars.
The name “Studio 13” makes me think of a metal building up a dirt road on a wooded hill in North Tacoma.
Same here. That memory is burned into my brain.
I was surprised to see this pop up on your page and looked at it when it was very interesting the picture of Miss Garcia sure doesn’t look like what she does nowadays quite frankly I can’t stand to watch her on morning TV at Fox 13 because of her appearance her hair is always messy one day it look like she just got out of bed and got to work and then after she got off the news at 7:00 she finally went and put a little bit of makeup on for Studio 13
In fact I wrote a letter to Fox 13 yesterday and told them they’re my first choice for news but when she’s on in the mornings when I wake up I won’t watch their Channel she is unprofessional all the other people in Seattle look very presentable on TV and to me she doesn’t and quite frankly I can’t stand to watch her anymore I guess I’m getting old and whatever but you know all the other staff members with the exception of Nikki Torres who looks like she just got out of bed quite a few times too she never Smiles but regardless all the other staff people on FOX 13 channels four five and seven nicely dressed Etc and Maria looks like she’s come from a Goodwill store with some of her outfits
Because that picture on the top of this article she doesn’t look even close to that anymore
I’m going to agree somewhat. My complaint is the silly, over-the-top facial expressions and head swivel toward the camera to put emphasison a point (her head shaking yes as if someone offered her the last donut). I can’t watch.
I too am SO excited…and thrilled…and over the moom! This is lifechanging! Jeeezzzz!
This is just a way to add inventory for the tsunami of political advertising that has come to be the support for local televsion, though I do give them credit for trying to be local. They’d be better off IMHO by just running a continious full day of news and blending different elements in on a daypart basis if that even makes sense anymore.
The folks at Fox 13 think new show names like Good Day Seattle and Studio 13 mean something to viewers. They don’t, and they are not ratings-influencers. Neither are new sets or graphics. Zero. The station was a sieve, losing Lorch, Kruse, Mayfield and others and the new GM from Minneapolis was dispatched to stop the bleeding. They have added new folks from here and there, incluing two from KOMO and one from KIRO for on-air positions, but bringing in someone from OKC to anchor will not move the needle. Cosmetic change and new faces are always called for when the status quo is sinking. We shall see.
-Yes, Mr. Reality Negator, Your Assessments Are The Final Word In Tripe…Too!!!
We so appreciate your insults hiding behind one initial. Your argument well articulated, too. You must be 13’s news director.
No hair pulling!
