WMTW has always been difficult to get in metro Boston and suburbs due to
sound bar interference from WHDH-TV Channel 7. It used to occasionally skip
in though.

I just checked, and I can tell that there's a faint signal there from WMTW
at the moment, but unintelligible visually or aurally. I'm only using an
indoor antenna. Perhaps a good directional roof antenna would get them here,
and I'm sure folks on high north-facing hills would get them.

WHOM radio however always comes in around Boston on any good quality car or
home receiver. It's certainly not "like a local" and fades in spots, but
it's always there. Occasionally WPKQ skips in weakly.
