Isn't the Providence/Fall River area fairly ethnic...Portuguese I think?
Country seems to be a small-medium market Anglo format.

As for Worcester, there are only 3 "real" signals in the market (WSRS, WXLO
and WAAF),  all of which have been successful with other formats and have
felt no need to experiment.  I would imagine that both Boston and
Springfield stations have pretty good signals there, too so anyone looking
for country has a listenable source.
