Actually, that's not surprising, since it was the TV tower that was blown down. The radio
towers in Hull weren't. I was in Albany at the time, but I believe I've heard from others that
WBZ-TV was knocked off the air for awhile, until they could set up a temporary transmission.
I've heard variously that they transmitted temporarily from the top of the auxiliary radio tower
at Soldiers Field Road or from the Channel 7 tower, which was somewhere around Medford
or Malden at the time.
