Ginger Rogers TV Pilot - "Love that Channel" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I came across a brief note in the Chicago Tribune from 1957 that producer Harry Ackerman was to make a comedy pilot starring Ginger Rogers called "Love that Channel." I have not been able to find further details about this pilot. Has anyone ever heard of it?

I have a book of unsold TV pilots through 1989, and the only listing for Ginger Rogers is an unsold sitcom for the 1963-64 season, in which Ginger would've played identical twins. (Interestingly, one of the producers on that project was Sidney Sheldon.)

Maybe the earlier pilot with Ackerman never got off the ground?
