Fox 13 lost the contract for Seahawks coverage to KING 5 this year. I am just thankful they are still doing pregame/postgame coverage as Aaron Levine is my favorite local sports director not named Paul Silvi.
This was an email I sent to Aaron after I heard they would not be the official Seahawks station...
Hi Aaron,
Big fan of your outstanding coverage of the Seahawks over the years. I recently heard about the Seahawks moving back to KING 5. I immediately went into a panic. "Oh no! Does this mean Aaron Levine won't be covering the Seahawks in any capacity anymore?" Please tell me that isn't true. I so enjoyed your team coverage with yourself, Wyman and Babs. Will you still be able to offer any type of Seahawks-related coverage outside of your Sunday night sport recap show at 10pm?
Regardless, I have always admired your professionalism, integrity and intelligence. You have been my favorite local sports director/broadcaster for many years.
Good luck to you and I hope to see you waxing philosophically on the Hawks this Fall and beyond.
Respectfully,
Todd Breda
His response...
Thanks so much, Todd!
The only thing that changes is preseason games will now be on KING 5. We’ll still have the majority of regular season games on FOX with our postgame shows each week, although they might look slightly different since we can’t put our desk out there anymore. Analysts are TBD as well. Hopefully everything will work out, but I don’t think things will change that drastically.
We will also have a weekly Seahawks show… just not sure it will be on Saturday nights. That’s up in the air for now.
Really appreciate your kind words. All the best to you.
Go Hawks!!
