Nope, they were part of the first, post-Feb batch (Wed 16 Apr),
as was their parent, WBPX-68 Boston and sister WDPX-58 Vineyard
Haven.  Also, WWDP-46 Norwell pulled the analog plug that day.
Next week (Wed 23 Apr) WGBX-44 goes dark (but *not* WGBH-2).
The FCC has a pre-June 12 shutdown list:

BTW, logged my first LP-DTV station the other day, too, WHDN-LD-26,
eventually to shift to Ch.38.
