At night (as was the case in their WMEX incarnation)
is essentially un copyable at night in most of the Boston area.
I think they may actually go off the air.

For what its worth, a few months ago I was driving back from
Lenox in Western Massachusetts, and curiously, I got a useable
and listenable signal from WBIX the whole length of the Mass 
Pike.
