Actress Joi Lansing movie host in Boston in 60's?

Does anyone know if actress Joi Lansing ever hosted movies on a Boston tv station in the 1960's? I stumbled across 2 photos of her in a two piece swimsuit lying on a couch and the caption was she was hosting movies but did not list the station she was on.
 
The first thing about Boston TV and Ms. Lansing I could find was an entry at http://www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/show.php?id=156 ), in which she was listed as making a guest appearance on a local Boston TV show in 1970, hosted by Dave Garroway.

However, a subsequent check of the September 24th, 1969 Boston Globe indicates that she was one of Garroway's guests that day on a show called "Tempo Boston" on WNAC-7.

I can tell you a little more about that show: Both WNAC and Garroway hoped that it would eventually go into national syndication. But the show was never seen outside of Boston, even though WNAC was then owned by RKO General, whose other big-city stations (New York, Hartford, Memphis and Los Angeles) could have served as a "launching pad" for such a syndicated show, much like the Group W stations were the foundation for syndication of the formerly-local (in Cleveland) "Mike Douglas Show".

I couldn't find anything about her hosting movies on Boston TV at the time.
