I also question the original source of this WLYN info.  WOTW AM signed on
September 13, 1947; the FM quickly followed on March 28, 1948.  I can
find no reference of any kind to a Theodore Feinstein, or Puritan
Broadcast Service, in WOTW's historical literature.  The WOTWs were put
on the air by The Nashua Broadcasting Corporation (co-owners Homer
Wingate, Elmer F. Blakey & Judge Alfred Guertin; Arthur A. Newcomb,
General Manager).  In 1951 Newcomb bought 40% of Wingate's stock and
became president of the company.  As far as I can tell, however, there
was no relationship between WOTW, WNBP and WLYN.
