Re: LPFM

This issue has come up many times on Boylston St. in many different scenarios. They
are only concerned about one book. When Ed Perry put WATB on the air he presented
BCN with a proposal to carry them on the Cape. This is obviously a little different
scenario.. but the reason BCN didn't have any interest was the same. The Cape was
not seen part of their market... therefore, though the station would interfere with
the Cape coverage they where used too.... they still had no interest.
