I'd heard that Providence had a Concert Network station, possibly WXCN, 
early on, and that it may have been a forerunner to WLKW 101.5.  Mr. 
Landry's item, which I'd say is more reliable information, seems to 
contradict this.  So was there a WXCN in Providence, or did the person I 
heard this from years ago mix up WPCN with WXCN?
