Leaving Las Vegas

KVVU Morning Anchor Monica Jackson says that she is leaving the Meredith station after 14 years.

The Las Vegas Review Journal writes that in a statement from Jackson’s management company (WAIT! She has a management company?!) 7Dayz LLC and MOJ Management, Jackson said she was departing as her contract with the station expires.

“I have enjoyed my time at Fox 5 and greatly appreciate the support of the viewers and my colleagues at the station,” Jackson said in a statement. “I look forward to my future endeavors here in Las Vegas, which includes developing, producing and launching a national TV show focused on the talented people and opportunities in our great city.”

Jackson’s statement was issued by her husband, Delano, president of her management company (Oh! OK...now I get it).

Jackson has been an anchor on Fox 5’s morning newscast and a popular member of the station’s “More” show. Jackson originally worked in her home town of Detroit, and moved to Las Vegas after a few years as a morning traffic anchor in Greensboro, N.C.
