New tower in Newton?

[lglavin@lycosmail.com]

I sent a message to WCRB's CE Rob Landry on his web-
site www.hippogryph.com/forum to get his read on my
problem with CRB's new not-so-improved antenna.  His
useful reply contained information of which I was not
aware.  I asked if the current situation was 
permanent, and he replied that in the near future
American Radio Systems was going to erect a 1,350-ft
tower on Chestnut St (or thereabouts) to support a
multi-frequency FM antenna and candelabra DTV 
arrangement.  Has this been discussed here?  After
several FM's have moved to the Pru antenna farm, 
who's left for this setup?  WODS...WBOS...WBMX...
WCRB who are out there already.  And with metro
Boston being combined with Worcester to make up
a single top-ten radio market, won't stations with
transmitters on 128 have a subtle advantage over 
stations with antennas 10 miles or so to the east?
