NECN has become NESN backup channel

[Kevin Vahey]

It appears that NESN is now using NECN as the channel for overflow sporting
events.

The Hockey East championship will be on NECN Saturday night. In the past
NESN has used CN8 and other LO channels.

This of course will be worth watching come April as the Bruins should be in
the playoffs and will go head to head with some baseball team.
