Colby is indeed leaving KXL. He is going to another station to do sales.

Colby is a nice guy-- did a good job reporting on air-- Good luck on the other side, Colby!

Reade is the best street reporter in the City.

If he is really leaving KXL then my money is on TV.

I have enjoyed listening to him.... I hope we will see him again

Colby Reade neglected a very important story down at City Hall. A lot of us concerned citizens felt betrayed by Reade. He was basically our only hope but his "skin" proved to be too thin.

i always found reade's delivery to be a little forced. his facts were strong, clearly organized and obviously well-researched, but the delivery never seemed conversational enough to me. it struck me that he was relying too much on written notes and thus remained unable to deliver the news in a casual yet informative way. anyone can read a paragraph or two off a sheet; that's not why i tune to kxl. perhaps reade is more suited to voiceover work, which is good because that's what i hear he's going to be doing at disney.
