Amber MacArthur from Citytv’s Webnation V2 abruptly left the Canadian television network after her show was canceled earlier today.
She sent this email to her fellow Roger’s colleagues to announce the news

Hi everyone,
Today was my last day at Citytv (was a surprise to me too!). I just found out this afternoon that Rogers has pulled the plug on our show, Webnation V2, because they do not have the budget or commitment to see it through. It’s been a wild ride. Since hosting tech and web shows is what I do, naturally there is no home for me at Citytv.
Thank you to Andrew, Brian, Chris, Sheldon, Dan, Jason, Vik, and everyone else who knew the show was a success and who believe in the future of new media news (ironically, we just found out that we won the Top New Podcast Award for 2007 on iTunes). Go team.
Much thanks as well to the CNI gang and to everyone else in the newsroom who kept me sane over the past year and a half. Also, since everyone forgets the camera department, a big shout-out to you boys and girl!
As for my next steps, I will find a new home for the show and keep on reporting on the ever-changing web-front.
See you online.

I guess this is a perfect opportunity for Revision3 to snatch up yet another TechTV alum into their burgeoning online media network.
