Well, WTSN in Dover, NH now identifies itself solely as "Newstalk 981 
WTSN", making no mention of AM 1270; but the AM is most definitiely still 
on the air, and the AM and FM are 100% simulcast, as per the rules.

I believe Binnie's AM in Laconia, WEMJ, is similarly calling itself "WEMJ 
107.3" even though it's simulcasting AM 1490.
