Pru is 100.7 WZLX, 104.1 WBCN, 107.9 WXKS-FM, 92.9 WBOS, 105.7 WROR, 106.7 WMJX, 96.9 WTKK, and 68 WBPX-TV. WJMN had a CP to go up there, but never did.
Hancock is just 101.3 W283AI, the WFNX translator. Most of the other big stations are over at 128, along with backups for most of the Pru stations.

I don't think any FM's currently transmit from the UHF-TV "Candelabra".
The only thing still on the Hancock is the WFNX translator W267AI at 101.3, which will be deleted when WFNX moves their main transmitter at 101.7 to One Financial Place.
Here's my impromtu, incomplete list off the top of my head of some Boston area FM transmitter sites:

The WFNX translator is actually W267AI ("W283AI" would be on 104.5).
And to add to Eli's comprehensive list, all four of the Greater Media Pru FMs (92.9/96.9/105.7/106.7) have backup facilities at FM128.
FM128, which began life as the WHDH-TV 5 tower, is also a TV tower again, though few people realize it. It's home to WBPX-DT 32, as well as the LPTV on 24.
To forestall the inevitable question:
350 Cedar Street, Needham: WGBH-TV2/DT19, WBZ-TV4/DT30, WCVB-TV5/DT20, WSBK-DT39, WGBX-TV44/DT43
Candelabra, Cabot St., Needham: WFXT-TV25/DT31, WSBK-TV38, WLVI-TV56/DT41
Tower Drive, Newton: WHDH-TV7/DT42
FM128: WBPX-DT32, CP for WMFP-TV18
Pru: WBPX-TV68
One Beacon Street, Boston: WMFP-TV62

Isn't there a WCRN-LP on tower #1 of the WCRN (AM) array in Leicester? I don't know what channel WCRN-LP is on or what channel WCRN-DT is or will be on--assuming that there is or will be a WCRN-DT. For that matter, if there is or will be a WCRN-DT, will it also transmit from the WCRN (AM) site? Mt Asnebumskit would seem to be a much better site if there is room there. Maybe there was going to be room there but now there isn't with WAAF apparently not moving to W Boyleston. There are three 300' AM towers at the WCRN (AM) site. There was supposed to be a fourth but it doesn't appear that that is going to happen.
