It's possible that things have changed since I was there, but once was the
time that Channel 7 received all their cancellation notices from WRKO. I
was at WRKO, and throughout the winter, part of my job was to compile the
cancellations, and make sure the lists got faxed to Channel 7. That was
five years ago or so, and things could have changed...
