What happened to Jessica Gottesman on Kiro FM?

I noticed Ursula is doing all the news and crosstalk with Dori. No word of where Jessica went.

Believe me, I don't necessary miss listening to her, just noticed she was gone.

Kind of like having Strep Throat, remember it and glad it's gone.

She was kinda steamy though, at least for radio.

Is that really what happened?

And where is Brian Gregory? Biz Editor at KOMO? Bill Rice has been "filling in" (?) for him for months. Is he on sabbatical or was relocated outside the company?

When KOMO went all news and were targeting to get the M's (2000?), they quickly raided KIRO of a lot of talent and paid them a LOT of money to "switch" sides. But after 12 years and no more M's, guess they couldn't afford some of the people. What was the name of the CBS News gal who was on mornings before Manda Factor? I remember she was broadcasting from a battleship in the Gulf and how that was a big deal. Then her departure was also kind of messy.
 
Someone else on this board mentioned that Gregory's personal website mentioned he was the former business editor at KOMO until February 2012. Kind of puzzling where he went.

Pamela McCall was the CBS News gal, but she was never on mornings. The original line up was Slocum + Factor in the AM Drive, McCall + Yeend in PM drive. That lasted one year.

McCall was let go circa 2005 (3 years?). She later surfaced at News1130 in Vancouver but didn't last long (less than a year in PM Drive). She sure bounces around.
