Scott has reported on the restacking extensively in NERW. There's now
a UHF master antenna and a VHF channel 5 antenna atop the mast for
WGBH. The "arms" of the candelabra are no longer in use, and channel
25 (the last remaining tenant) is using Cedar St. while everyone
(except 7/56 obviously) is constructing a backup facility at Cabot.
They will all move to Cabot while the post-repack facility is
constructed as Cedar. WGBH's post-repack main facility on channel 5
will be at Cabot; the other stations will be main at Cedar and aux at
Cabot.
