A familiar voice is joining KOMO's award winning radio news team next week. Elisa Jaffe will partner with Tom Glasgow as an afternoon news anchor on Newsradio KOMO 1000 AM / 97.7 FM starting Monday, Dec. 14.

Elisa is a longtime favorite in Seattle with decades of television news reporting on KOMO-TV, and also hosting the popular Northwest Afternoon.

"Elisa is known and respected around the Northwest for her decades of hosting KOMO TV's Northwest Afternoon and anchoring and reporting on KOMO 4 News," said KOMO Program Director Rick Van Cise. "She brings the perfect balance of personality, news credibility and compassionate storytelling to KOMO's drive home."

She replaces Jane Shannon who passed away this past summer. "I could never fill our friend Jane Shannon's shoes but it's an honor to follow in her footsteps," said Jaffe.
