Fybush: Willcox selling WNSH to Costa-Eagle

[Dan.Strassberg]

Depends on whether you count 1110, which is licensed to Salem NH and I
believe now has the WCCM calls, as being on the North Shore. Unless
there has been a recent format flip, 1110 is Costa-Eagle's only
station that programs in English. 1490 is now WCEC and programs in
Spanish.
