For that format Boston is not nearly as important as Norfolk County and
Middlesex ex-County (what do you call a county that has just been
abolished?).  WPLM covers Norfolk County without a problem as far as I
know, so the question is could they put a good enough signal over
Middlesex to compete with us?  I suspect the answer is yes.
