In what way?  As has already been laboriously established by our crack
research team on this list, if there were any possibility of improving
WBOQ's signal where WRBB is currently located, WBOQ could simply apply
for it; if granted, WRBB, a class D, would be bumped from the channel
(and perhaps off the air, considering how tight spectrum in Boston
is).  The protected contour of a class A simply doesn't extend very
far.
