The only significantly populated part of RI in which WCTK's signal is lacking is in the southwestern part of the state (specifically, Westerly). But 97.7 WCTY/Norwich is a local in Westerly, and it's also WCTK's sister station.

Yes, I do seem to recall hearing on WBOS as well. BTW, did she by any chance be on the air at WEGQ "Eagle 93.7" also?She also worked at 92.9 WBOS and Mix 98.5 in the 1990s.
But doesn't Hall Communications now own WCTK now instead?WFHN was spun off to Townsquare. And WFHN would have alot of overlap with WCTK. WCTK can serve the majority of Rhode Island well alone, and doesn't make sense to have another station compete.
They are on 101.1, same frequency as WCBS-FM, NYC. Y101 is probably required to protect 'CBS-FM.Side note: Cape Cod's Y101 should be on a stronger signal.
Hall has always owned WCTK. WCTK was never owned by Townsquare.But doesn't Hall Communications now own WCTK now instead?

I am sorry, it was this second post thst led to my confusion.WFHN was spun off to Townsquare. And WFHN would have alot of overlap with WCTK. WCTK can serve the majority of Rhode Island well alone, and doesn't make sense to have another station compete.
WHYA (a class A) is actually 200 miles apart from WCBS-FM (a class B). Two class B stations are supposed to be 150 miles apart, although there are several cases in Zone I where the spacing between two B stations are far less.They are on 101.1, same frequency as WCBS-FM, NYC. Y101 is probably required to protect 'CBS-FM.
WHYA is pretty close to WKFY and WWBB though (both on 101.5). Plus, WGIR is roughly 110 miles away. Spacing between a class A and a class B is supposed to be at least 111 miles.
