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.

If the title of this post rings a bell, you need to watch this video….

This reminds me that its time again to do taxes….

In today’s television business, networks seems to be looking only for instant hits. Reality television is partially to blame for that as they usually have strong starts but finishes weak. Traditional serial drama seems to take the biggest hits with this mentality. With the writer strike and everything else going on with online downloads, the studios have even less patience with shows that don’t produce big numbers right away.

Journeyman is one of the new shows this last season that is facing that untimely death. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I will really miss not knowing where (when and who) Dan Vasser will be visiting in the non-existent future episodes. There has to be a place where good quality shows like this can live and be profitable. I don’t know if the Internet is the answer but certainly the SciFi network or some cable station should at least pick it up for us fans to continue to enjoy the show.

So please, NBC, give the writers what they want and bring back Journeyman!!!

Hopefully it was better than this…
