WBUR Buys 92.7 WMVY

[Jeff Lehmann]

WMVY has not been on those translators for over 5 years, and they were only heard on there less than a year. They are owned by Jeff Shapiro (Nantucket Public Radio 89.5 WNCK), also the owner of 97.7 WAZK, and Great Eastern Radio in northern New England.

93.9 translates 90.1 WRYP, which is also on many other translators, most of which actually pick up 93.9.

100.7 translates 101.9 WCIB.
