I'd go out to the transmitter site, which is at the end of a dirt  road 
perpendicular
to the main drag, Pelham Road.  There was a truck  blocking the street and it 
wasn't from Costa-Eagle;  it was for  workers cleaning up the area.  One of
them said, yes, all the  RESIDENCES in the area got their power back, but 
Public
Service of NH was  not yet restoring power to BUSINESSES along the street;
oops, the ONLY  business for a couple of miles IS the WCCM transmitter.""
 
Why don't radio station's have back up power anymore? I notice this  
especially with AM stations. Last week we had a sub-station blow up in Neptune,  NJ 
and WHTG 1410 and WBUD 1310 were off the air during the  outage.
