According to my sources in HR, Ashley is out because KFOR declined to renew her contract. That sucks for Ashley in the short-term, but she'll be fine. It will be very interesting to see which state agency, law enforcement division or hospital hires her as a spokesperson.
Because we worked different shifts, I really didn't know Ashley all that well. Outside of the time she forgot to put away her perfect push-up handles, causing Lance West to trip, fall and aggravate his ailing back, she seemed like a nice person.
Naturally, Ashley's morning show friends are pretty bummed out by the deal. Emily Sutton promised to make a rainbow in Ashley's honor, and Lacey Lett burned her a CD mix tape of depressing Beatles songs. They also made some Twitter tributes.
