Must of just been a brief outage—whenever I’ve checked (including at c.23:30), they have been on.
As for the programming, as noted, 22.1 = Azteca, 22.2 & .3 = Infomercials,
and 22.4 = full color bar test pattern:  At the top of the hour, the tp
switches to a generic/test ID slide for about 15-20 sec.,

So, their slide will probably be

On an ancillary note, regarding the location.
Yes, it looks like they are on the 93.7 stick, out off Rt.1.

However, it appears that the coordinates are wrong for 93.7’s listing.
Comparing the FCC’s “ASRNs within 0.5 km radius” links:

If you plot it on the map, it is right on target!
On the other hand,

  WEEI-FM:

Plotting it on GoogleMap satellite, it plots in a parking space next to a trailer truck,
to the lower right of the actual antenna!!  P=)
The .5 km search radius for both show only the 1004234 ASRN entry.
