RE: BUR-GBH

Also, WGBH has to pay WMBR a small rental fee for use of their tower for their
96.3 repeater. I've heard that when they move 89.7 to Needham, that the 96.3 
repeater may be discontinued. 

The amount they pay WMBR is probably a grain of sand to them, but still an 
expense I'm sure they'd like to eliminate.
