They don’t have to tell her anything, as she is just an employee. They probably didn’t tell her because they didn’t want a competing network to upbid any offers to Strahn.
She should be careful, because the network has made it clear that they value him and not her.
rumour is that ABC wants to cancel Michael Gelman’s produced Live! and have a third hour of Today with Ginger Zee, Lara Spencer, Robin Roberts etc.. so they wont get pissed that Strahan has jumped all of them in the pecking order
