Assuming for the sake of argument that it doesn't cost very much at all to
keep 1240 running, I suspect WBUR will probably just keep 1240 running. As
Sean correctly notes, it's worth less to just about anyone else than it is
to WBUR, and it does do a little better in some parts of the mid-Cape than
92.7, especially on the bay side. I can't even see much value to 1240 as a
translator input for anyone else.
