Hang in there, as it does get better with time. In my mind, Crayon has always been synonymous with the CC Chapman brand. I would be unable to name a single person other than you who works with Crayon. You have been the public representative and opinion leader for the organization. Whatever factors led to your decision to leave, your former colleagues are fools for not trying harder to keep you. Perhaps they were greedy? Best of luck with your free-lancing career, and with the next business that you start. (Really -- it is clear to anyone who listens to your podcast that you should be part of the management/founding team of a company, and that you would not be happy simply working for someone else.)

Traditional television is not at all a growth industry. That, combined with the tremendous opportunity to create strong brands online, will make that an equally bittersweet decision for me. I write this from the APEC US TV pool workspace in Sydney Australia, looking out at colleagues clinging to the few remaining television news "careers". Times are changing, and that's both scary and invigorating.
