Can viewers in the Boston area pick up Providence stations fairly easily? I wondered if they could get WJAR 10 NBC when WBZ didn't show NBC shows in daytime. WBZ did a lot of pre-empting with NBC daytime shows and for some reason didn't like Another World but had showed Santa Barbara for awhile instead, but it looks like by this time it had dropped it also.

In the analog days, Channels 10 and 12 were easy to receive with rabbit ears in the southern suburbs, no problem with a better antenna in most of the rest of Greater Boston.
