Re: WJLT at night (Was RE: WCBS off time...)

I believe that you are wrong, Martin. When I last checked it, the FCC
database showed WJLT licensed for 9W at night from the WKOX towers--NOT, as
someone else posted, from the WBPS site in Ashland. Since WBIX will remain
at Mt Wayte days (even if it should build its proposed 2500W night
facilities using WBPS's five towers--which were once 1060's five towers--but
that's another thread), Langer will presumably have a continuing presence at
the Mt Wayte site. With only 9w ND at night, it makes more sense for WJLT to
return to Mt Wayte for its night service, even if it should move (as its CP
specifies) its day operation to WBPS's five towers on Sewell St in Ashland.
With 9W ND at night, WJLT can serve substantial population from Mt Wayte,
because the site is rather centrally located within Framingham. This would
not be the case from Sewell St, which, for the Boston suburbs, is not a very
densely populated area.
