This one will be interesting to watch.  It could mean that the NH 
audience will wind up getting more Boston news and less NH news, but 
it could also mean that the Channel 5 audience gets more NH news, 
since they will have the stories ready to air from their NH affiliate.

The latter situation would be good for southern NH, where a large 
part of the audience gets their news from the Boston stations.  And, 
it could even put pressure on the other Boston stations to carry more 
NH news for competitive reasons.
