The Bulletin - also located there - recently <a href="http://bulletinnewspapers.com/default.asp?smenu=182&amp;sdetail=5471">profiled</a> the station.</p> <p>The FCC visit apparently had as much effects as similar visits - and fines - have had on the similar <a href="http://www.touchfm.org/">Touch FM</a> in Dorchester: None. As I type this, Hot FM is coming in just fine, in stereo, here in Roslindale (on the Hyde Park line, maybe a couple miles as the crow flies from Westinghouse Plaza). The WAAF repeater is also coming in fine, a notch up the dial.</p> <p><a href="http://www.universalhub.com/node/26742" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.universalhub.com/node/26742#comments Hyde Park pirate radio WPOT Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:18:39 +0000 adamg 26742 at http://www.universalhub.com
