Like most people ,.I can't receive 60 here, but according to the Wiki page:

60.1, 8.2       1080i <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i> 16:9
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9>  WNEU-HD  Main WNEU programming /
Telemundo <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo> / Simulcast on WBTS-LD2

The article seems to confuse/merge all the various PSIP's from the three
transmitters, but the first
one in the list would be the one used on the Merrimack transmitter.

A more accurate way to present it would be:

---PSIP used on---
WNEU   WBTS   WMFP
RF34   RF46   RF18
60.1   8.2           1080i <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i> 16:9
