RE: WKTQ (was tv on radio)
I doubt that a Brighton property has a Brookline Zip Code. Zip Codes (to the
best of my knowledge) do NOT cross town/city lines if both towns or cities
have their own zip codes. I strongly believe that any address having an
02146 zip code IS actually in Brookline.
Telephone numbers are a whole different story....the Tel #s are simply based
on the wiring, if the telephone wire connects to the Brookline office
instead of Brighton/Allston, then the Brookline exchange would be assigned.
I believe (generally) that Brighton/Allston addresses SOUTH of Comm Ave
would have Brookline Tel#s.
We have the same situation up here in Derry. Although Derry, Londonderry and
parts of Windham share the same exchanges (425,426,432,434,437 and others),
there are parts of Southeastern Derry (Island Pond Area) that are wired
through Salem (NH) and therefore have Salem exchanges (890,893,894,898 etc).
