 That is correct.She went on to Ch 7 from there for her ill fated paring
with Tom Ellis.

How many remember Jack Cole's Boston TV career ending comment on the 6PM CH
7 news one night,coming out of a story on the work of a chimney sweep,he
went into the break with the fateful words"We'll be back with more alleged
news after this!!" He was gone by 11,if memory serves me correctly.
