WILX has been advertising a morning anchor position for a couple weeks. Wasn’t sure if Mallory was moving to a bigger station or Ida was leaving. Now we know.

I remember when she was a reporter in Toledo. I'm guessing she's taking a break from television?

According to her Facebook post she is taking a break from TV to be a full-time Mom. She has been driving an hour from the Detroit area where husband Jason Colthorp works for Channel 4.

That's a commute. Glad she'll spend time with her kids more often.

Maybe it was just bad timing, but I'm surprised they didn't just move Julie Williams from the Fox 47 morning show to the WILX morning show. Would've been able to fill the open position immediately and not have to hire someone brand new to the station.

From her Twitter this week...

"After five years working in TV, I'm thrilled to announce I'll be trading in my microphone for Mickey ears as a Disney vacation extraordinaire!"
