Yes, the Record-Journal.  Note that most cities with at least 50,000 
population tend to have (or had) a station allocation.  That explains why 
Hamden, a definite suburb of New Haven, has 1220 (now WQUN, and has a 
looong history of calls, including WCDQ, WOMN, WSCR), and 101.3, WCKI (and 
WQAQ, but that's in a different category as a class D).  Same is true in 
Boston, but to a smaller extent due to the larger metro area--WXKS Everett, 
WXKS-FM Medford, WCRB Waltham, WBOS Brookline.

That's WMRQ, formerly WIOF and WYSR.  I thought they were out in Prospect, 
CT near Waterbury, on what I think may be called Prospect Hill, and 
possibly on the WTXX tower...
