Jody Vance.....Gassed ???

Chances are pretty good you remember the bespectacled Jody Vance who was front and center on the Toronto sports scene for a number of years. She headed back out west after a good run in Toronto and ended up hosting Breakfast Television on CKVU Vancouver.

It's now being reported that Jody "has left the show"... with no reason given. Her co-hosts did acknowledge her absence on air wishing her luck etc. etc.  A quick check of her Facebook and twitter accounts  yields no information.

One newspaper reporter speculated that Ms. Vance has become yet  another in a long line of Rogers rejects...

Re: Jody Vance.....Gassed ???

I can confirm she was part of the layoffs.  I have a source in the Rogers IT dept and they were asked to be prepared to scrub Jody from the website, directory etc  the day before. If you look at the people let go in the latest round of layoffs you can see it was a salary dump to get rid of expensive talent, and bring in some no namers for less money.
If you watch the clip from BT Vancouver announcing her departure, it's quite clear she didn't leave on her own terms and it was sudden.  The Jennifer Valentyne situation was handled the same way.
