Yea, I should have read the article first before I spouted off. 
Sorry about that.

My guess is they plan to be on 91.7 in both Stow and Newburryport.  I 
am a listener to and supporter of WUMB, but I feel that what they are 
doing with regard to Maynard/Stow is a mistake.  I am planning to 
write to Pat Montieth to make my feelings known.
