But Nashua and Manchester aren't in the Boston market.  Clearly,
Burlington wasn't a bad choice at the time -- but it's not where you'd
want to put it today.  WRKO can't sell their bang-up coverage of the
Route 101 corridor, whereas they could sell their coverage of
Southborough and Acton if they had any to sell.
