Jody Vance (born August 23, 1967 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian sports anchor and co-host of ''Breakfast Television'' on CKVU-DT in Vancouver. Vance began her broadcast career on CHRX, and then moved to CFMI-FM/CKNW as the assistant promotions director and on-air fill-in talent. When BCTV called in 1995 she finally reached her lifelong goal of becoming a sports anchor. Her first live sports TV appearance was September 13, 1995. After a short stint with BCTV, Vance was lured away to launch the sports department at Vancouver Television. This is where she honed her craft and learned the ins and outs of sports television. There were no producers or editors to assist -- she was the sports department. From there the long distance call came from Scott Moore the head of Sportsnet, a new Canadian sports network. Vance went to Toronto to work as a fill in anchor in the summer of 1999 when she became the first woman to host the desk for network. Scott moved Jody to Toronto on March 13, 2000 as host of ''Sportscentral AM''. After ratings increased she was moved to the coveted evening time slot — on September 4, 2000 Vance became the first woman in the history of Canadian television to host her own sports show in primetime. She landed as lead anchor at Leafs TV, the Toronto Maple Leafs-owned hockey channel, from 2006-2009. Her final pregame was April 11th, 2009 as the Leafs hosted the Ottawa Senators. Jody moved back to Vancouver in Spring 2009 as she joined the team that launched Shore 104 FM. She then joined CBC Vancouver doing sports on top of her work at Shore 104.3 FM and hosted the Vancouver Canucks playoff post game show, "Seeking Stanley" (see YouTube). Most recently, in October of 2011, Vance was hired away from radio and the CBC to host/news anchor City's ''Breakfast Television'' and rejoin her former Sportsnet colleagues by way of freelance work. She has joined some Sportsnet Pacific Vancouver Canucks broadcasts as a panelist during intermissions. Also was a part of the on air crew for the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Soccer Qualifying tournament at BC Place that was broadcast nationally on Sportsnet. She has a 4-year-old son, Brady. == External links == * (Breakfast Television Vancouver ) * (Jody's Twitter Page ) * (Maple Leafs TV announcement of Vance joining the network ) * * (A Tale of Two Hosts (UBC article on Jody Vance & Jim Van Horne) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jody Vance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
