Some responded in kind by putting Gray back on the air, on other programs, including the television chat show, Midday, and the weekly political roundup on CBC radio, The House.

Relocating with husband John Gray to London in 1987, and Moscow in 1991, then returning to Canada in 1994, she continued to produce audio documentaries for the CBC until her retirement, as she approached age 70.
