The article in Saturday's Globe also made public the fact that Cathy
Marshall also is no longer at the station, and that they do plan to hire a
new morning anchor.

Being an employee of Channel 7, I do know that there is a lot more behind
the scenes stuff going on, for obvious reasons I can't post it here.  I'm
sure it will come out in the papers over time, since I like being employed
you'll just have to wait for things to become public by other means.
