That may make some on screen talent anxious because he hired them. The intra-company supporter is gone.

Having a journalist at the helm has been very beneficial to parts of CORUS. Global News has improved their position drastically, and CORUS' News/Talk stations are clearly better supported than Bell's.

Reeb “has decided to pursue opportunities outside the company.”
Translation: we fired him so now he has to pursue other opportunities outside the company.

I’m afraid that without Reeb there, Global News, the local TV stations, and the Corus news/talk stations are going to be gutted even more.

I wonder if Global will give Troy a 6 minute kiss off on air a la Mark Trueman?

Good points and certainly possible. If there is any more fat to be trimmed they'll find it, especially if the in-house champion is gone. Troy is also a micromanager and that could've been a factor too.

Also heard, part of Troy's rise to fame was all the cutting he did in the newsroom

Troy wasn't everyone's cup of tea as he worked his way up the greasy pole at BN before moving to the Global pole and climbing much higher.
But he did a great report calling out a number of butt-kissing questions at a Madonna news conference. The worst offenders were apparently some entertainment reporters from Montreal and 680's Rudy Blair, who was really steamed that his butt-kissing question was in Troy's report. Tough luck, Rudy.
