You will recall that 1150 was briefly owned by American Radio, before
the CBS takeover.  1150 was put into trust to meet FCC ownership
restrictions (as opposed to the other Boston ARS stations which CBS
allowed to buy, under FCC rules, but had to sell quickly for
anti-trust reasons).  The CBS takeover of ARS was structured so as to
leave most of ARS's tower properties with Steve Dodge under the
American Tower moniker, including the 1150 site in Lexington (probably
because it includes the tall WCOP-FM tower which could be leased out
separately).
