That is fantastic news for us out here in western Massachusetts.  In the
"important information" section of our March cable bill from AT&T Broadband
was notification that on April 15th, WB affiliate Channel 56 in Cambridge
will be replaced by what I think (does anyone know?) is a new TV station
down in Springfield, WBQT, which is also a WB affiliate.  Just what we don't
need; another rinky-dink commercial TV station from Springfield.  It'll be
nice to still be able to get a  professional newscast out here at 10:00.
