Scott may have more info on this in his files.

Back in the mid 60's WMUR tried to move the transmitter to Georgetown,
MA with the idea of being a Boston indy. They filed papers with the
FCC that tried to show Nashua and Manchester would actually get a
better signal.

WMUR was in pre-cable days almost unwatchable in Manchester as
everybody had their antennas pointed towards Newton-Needham and the
channel 9 tramsmitter was due west of the city in Goffstown.

For years WMUR had a translator on channel 13 in downtown Manchester
because of the problem.

Richard Eaton who owned channel 9 then started a cable company in
Manchester - United Cable.
