It had been speculated for weeks now that Jennifer Parker, the anchor for the station's morning-news program since its start in 2005, would not return after her contract expires in late April.
Well today, Parker made it official, informing Fox40 news director Tom Burke that she will leave TV news behind and join the family business. That would be the Parker Development Company, the "master-planned community" builder (think Serrano in El Dorado Hills and Riverlake in the Pocket).
Actually, Parker has not been on the air since late December, when she went on maternity leave. (She gave birth to a daughter, Katherine, in January.) She had been scheduled to return in April.
During Parker's absence, Fox40 has doubled its anchor team to two - Natalie Bomke and Nina Mehlhaf.
