Now that WFNX has a stronger signal on 101.7, what will happen to the old simulcast of 101.3? I don't hear anything on that frequency any more.

WFNX has no reason to keep the 101.3 frequency now due to 101.7's much solid signal from Downtown Boston. HOWEVER, 'FNX could possible donate the 101.3 signal (from the Pru) to Northeastern's WRBB/104.9 which barely makes it through the Back Bay. Since 101.7 and 101.3 are very close in frequency and location, WFNX could allow ("accept interference") for the operation of 101.3 to be used for a WRBB translator. 101.7 would have nothing to worry about due to the full Class A status of WFNX. OR, the 101.3 signal could be POSSIBLY reclassified as a "special case LPFM-10" (stranger things have happened) for WCRB's soon to be ditched classical format. With some "creative engineering", this little piece of RF could be used for the two above possible scenarios. One can dream, can't they?
But then again, in Philadelphia... little WPEB/88.1 (2 watts) is on the air as a second adjacent station with WXPN/88.5 two spots UP and WPVI/6 (87.76) right nearby as well.

Well, if anyone should know about the late 101.3.... Chris would. 101.3 is deleted. Greetings, Chris!

Too bad WRBB couldn't simulcast on one of the larger college's HD signal's secondary subcarrier when they fire up. When , lets say WERS's HD signs on, that WRBB can't use WERS-HD2 or HD3? That could most certanly help them out.

Yes, in Brockton. It's been there for a few months now. It runs the same programming as 102.1 in Dorchester.
