WLNE officially for sale

[Paul Hopfgarten]

I remember growing up in Randolph MA that WPRI-12 and WJAR-10 actually came 
in better (no ghosts bouncing off Blue Hill) than the 3 Boston network 
affiliates. I would watch network shows on 10 and 12 back then. But 6-WTEV 
was always an adventure! WSMW-27 Worcester came in better than 6 at my 
house. (44 was crap even though I was about 7-8 miles from TX).

We were lucky in the Boston-Providence corridor for TV 
(2-4-5-6-7-9-10-12-27-36-38-44-56) back in the day compared to most parts of 
the country in the early 70s....

(36 was the least likely signal, about the same quality as WMUR-9 back then)
