Chronicle is consistantly the top-rated 7:30 show in Boston. Chances of
'CVB cancelling it? Next to nothing. 

(The cuts will probably be more along the lines of those mentioned
earlier: Combining some operations with 'MUR, eliminating some freelance
positions, cutting back on the number of live shots and long-distance live
shots requiring satellite time, etc)
