Agreed. First they fire Erin Burnett and Trish Regan, now this.

Ok, hold on a second ---
When did anyone determine that Erin and Trish were "fired" by NBC ??? Or Amy for that matter?
Although it's not
always the case, whenever someone goes almost straight into a gig with another network with
almost no delay (Erin to CNN, Trish to Bloomberg, and now Amy to ABC) it's usually an indication that
the person was already negotiating a new deal knowing that their contract was ending soon.
Same thing happened last year also when Norah O'Donnell jumped over to CBS.
All the networks keep tabs on when competing talent's contracts are expiring, and when they like someone
and want to try to hire them away, they make some sweet offers.
If NBC's guilty of anything in some of these situations, it's probably that they came up
with crappy counter-offers that just couldn't hold onto these ladies.
