According to a certain podcast, she has supposedly left WDIV. Can anyone confirm?

I wouldn't think so; she is a minority female, and did a respectable job; I don't think that is a chance they would take.
The box that many broadcasters won’t look outside of was made in 1969 and hasn’t changed significantly since.

If she is gone from WDIV I find the complete silence about it strange . I thought she was very good .

Pure speculation here, she was offered a bad contract renewal with a take it or leave it attitude from upper management, so she left it.

I have no idea what actually happened, just an educated guess.

For sure. That, to me, screams one of two things:
Management is cleaning house to revamp OR its a shitty work environment and folks are just leaving because they want to

It needed to happen as the station got so bad in viewing.

Well, like Luke said, she's not on the station's website anymore.
And the website has been updated to include all the fresh faces, including Mr. Blackburn.
So maybe tivoking's podcast info is correct.

Maybe... It says she went voluntarily rather than being chopped.
