Another one Out the Door in Phoenix

FTVLive has been telling you about moves that are going down in Phoenix before they even happen.

On Monday, we told you to keep your eye o KTVK and told you changes were coming.

Yesterday, FTVLive FIRST told you that popular AM Anchor Kaley O’Kelley was headed to KTVT in Dallas. 

After FTVLive's report KTVK/KPHO duopoly News Director Leona Wood held a meeting confirming her departure.  

Monday we said that  longtime primary anchor Carey Pena’s desk looked a little too ‘tidy’ (hint: we expected her to be the next to leave).

Yesterday, Wood held another meeting later in the day announcing that Pena (pictured), a 16-year veteran at the station was leaving.

Pena also posted the news to her Facebook page saying, "After many positive discussions with management, we were not able to reach an agreement on contract terms and so, the time has come to move on."

Pena is not yet tipping her hand as to her next move. 

Since Meredith took over, the KTVK newsroom is in turmoil. They are losing popular talent and many inside are not happy. 

Stay tuned....
