I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that the FCC was nowhere
near ready to begin accepting, much less approving, LPFM applications
just yet.

Did the article say where RFA is going to be found on the dial?  I don't
think they can go back to their old position, at least not without raising
the ire of whichever one of Boston's commercial FMs was complaining about
interference from them in the first place...
