WSBE now available on FiOS in the Boston area?

I know this is yet another thread about WSBE (Rhode Island PBS), but it somehow looks as if it is actually available in the Boston area now on FiOS, and throughout the market to boot. This is the SD and the HD version. I know the SD version is seen on channel 18. Can anyone here who has FiOS and in the Boston area check this out?
 
Even in Northeastern MA WSBE is on ch 18 (with WSBEHD on channel 518)

When I asked WENH's website about WENH-HD and must carry They replied that they would easily consent to Fios carrying their HD signal but the carriage of Ch 11.2 (the SD signal) is sufficient to satisfy the must carry rule.

Yes, both SD and HD are available on FIOS on ch.18 and 518, respectively.
Don't see a need for the RI PBS affiliate to be carried on FIOS in the Boston area
considering 2 Boston PBS stations and 1 NH PBS already overlap most of the network's programming.

Not to mention that I bet WSBE still signs off every night at like 11:30...
