KIRO-TV has found a place for Seattle radio legend Pat O'Day on it's annual Seafair race coverage. The station earlier this year, had announce that it was parting ways with the veteran broadcaster. When an article by Seattle Times reporter Erik Lacitas revealed the move , the city was outraged and word was that the station was run by accountants back east and had lost touch with the community.. Bouyed by Facebook and Twitter, area residents, some who normally would not have cared about the race, expressed their outrage.
According to the SeaTac Media web site. Pat will do background and history reports during the race day. He will also do reports on KIRO FM, which is no longer associated with the TV station of the same name. It will no doubt be a busy Sunday for O'Day.
