WPEP going dark (but now, WVBF serves Taunton)

[Eli Polonsky]

WPEP 1570 had been broadcasting at night with 227 watts.
Since the power increase for WNSH is for daytime only,
I don't see what would prevent WPEP from continuing to
broadcast on 1570 as they were, at nighttime only. It
would beat 2 watts from Middleborough (which could also
continue).

They would have to run some sort of promos on 1530 in
the daytime instructing listeners in the Taunton area
to turn their dials up a few clicks to 1570 at sunset.
Listeners who tune in for specific evening programs on
WPEP would already know that they're there. If they air
things like local evening school sports games, those
could be promoted beforehand as being on 1570. 

WPEP could come on at sunset, when WNSH powers down 
to 85 watts, and could stay on until sunrise on the
following morning, then instructing listeners to tune
down to 1530 for the morning show. If WPEP did that, 
it may be the only nighttime-only AM station in the 
country, as far as I know.
