I saw the special when it first ran several years ago. A great tribute to 
Rex and Boomtown.

On Thursday Channel's 4 & 5 had Rex's passing as the top story on the 5PM 
news. WBZ had Jack Williams (who only anchors the 6PM news) do the story on 
Rex. Jack also did a more detailed look back at Rex during the 6PM news. 
Channel 7, however, gave Rex's passing a quick 20 second read about 5 
minutes into the 5PM news.
