Here's a link to an article in Friday's Metrowest News. FCC approval
still needed.

Maynard High School radio station WAVM and its University of
Massachusetts-Boston broadcast partner WUMB have reached an agreement
with a competitor for the 91.7 FM broadcasting frequency that may end
a six-month license nightmare and result in a much stronger broadcast
signal.

    "What this agreement will do is allow WAVM to go from 10 watts to
500 watts of power," said Pat Monteith, general manager of WUMB.

    The agreement was reached with Living Proof, Inc., a Christian
broadcaster, which had been granted rights to the frequency by the
Federal Communications Commission last fall.
