UPDATE: KEVIN KO responds; bounced from KIRO7

—————————————-
April3, 2024 —It looks like another one bit the dust. Kevin Ko has been removed from the KIRO7 news site.

That could be by choice or a contractual issue. Kevin Ko has not posted on Facebook or Twitter in many months. No update on his situation.
Why he has not kept up on social media posting (not even any dance videos or Tiktoks!!!!) might be an issue since stations push their personalities to be OUT THERE. — Jason

    Kevin’s energy was infectious. At 1st hard to keep up, but then, he slowed downed so we cld keep up. His bubbly positivity even when sharing bad news whether it was traffic, weather or news was infectious. I keep checking to see if he’s back.

    KIRO seemed to like him as well. Using him as a fill in Anchor, traffic, and reporter. Maybe he’ll tell us what happened.
    I personally thought he was doing a good job.

    To me he looked a little young for the job.

      I loved getting ready for my day while watching Kevin give his various reports. He was my “Energizer Bunny”.

      If he did leave, for whatever reasons, I wish him well, and hope he remains in the Pacific Northwest.

        I really liked seeing Kevin Ko doing traffic reporting and on the live desk. What in the hell is wrong with Kiro 7 getting rid of all their stars?!!!

          Agree! They get great people but don’t/cant keep them. I’m through with KiroTv morning news.

          I agree. What is their problem? I discussted with them Kevin Ko was loved by a lot of people and I am not going to watch it any more. They have terrible people at the top.

            So sorry to see Kevin Ko is no longer on Kiro news 7 in the morning. He was the life of the show!! Loved the energy he brought and his humor. The show is definitely not the same without him.

      He was the Rock Star of Kiro. And he just looked young.
