After being at CBS affiliate KCNC Channel 4 for 10 years (http://if.isebox.net/brooke-wagner/brooke-wagner/), Morning Anchor Brooke Wagner has been let go. Wagner has stated on her Twitter (http://twitter.com/brookewagnerco) that she hopes to have more news about her future next month. KCNC has already removed all of her pages on their website (http://denver.cbslocal.com/personality/brooke-wagner/). So it doesn't sound like the relationship ended on friendly terms. Rumor has it, her contract was not renewed when it expired at the end of the year.

Brooke Wagner, CBS4

Brooke Wagner, lead morning anchor, “Wednesday’s Child” champion and consumer (bargain hunting) reporter at KCNC-Channel 4 for 10 years, had her last day at the end of the 2012 holiday week. Her contract was not renewed. General Manager Walt DeHaven did not elaborate.
Chalk it up to Channel 4′s dismal ratings in the morning. CBS4 was fifth out of five full-hour newscasts, 6-7 a.m., for the November sweeps. Something had to give. Word is Wagner, a solid presence on the overall sleepy morning show, has possibilities elsewhere. The station is expected to take its time finding a replacement.
News Director Tim Wieland aims to “inject the morning news with new energy,” with plans on production side along with staff changes, not of which is finalized yet.

Have you caught Brooke Wagner (http://blogs.denverpost.com/ostrow/2013/01/02/brooke-wagner-cbs4/12231/) on Fox31, doing a couple of live auditions–weekend and morning– for what may be her next job? She was smooth, authoritative and looked like she belonged. (She Tweeted news of her gigs just before going on the air.) Fox31 news boss Ed Kosowski says no decision has been made — yet. But it all sounds positive.
Clearly Wagner was not the problem at CBS4. She may have been the scapegoat for Channel 4′s ongoing morning ratings woes when she was cut loose at the end of 2012 after a decade on the job. In any case, it would be good to have her back on the air, and a boost for Channel 31.

I just saw on Twitter that she has joined the Fox 31 team and will be on Good Day Colorado soon. I'm not sure yet what she will be doing on Good Day Colorado.
