I wonder if they are planning to use one of the HD subchannels on 
89.7 to fill in the areas further to the south?  Although I realize 
that the HD signals do not get out as well as the analog signals, so 
this may be of limited use.  I noticed today that WGBH-HD-3 is no 
longer there, it had been a rebroadcast of WCAI (GBH's Cape and 
Islands station).
