Boston has 8 low-power TV stations?

A Globe article about the upcoming digital TV conversion mentions this in passing:

"In addition, there are dozens of low-power TV stations, including eight in the Boston area, that are exempt from the changeover. To keep watching these channels, users will need converter boxes with an analog pass-through feature, but not every converter will include that feature."

These stations aren't listed in the Globe's TV section and probably aren't on most cable systems, so I didn't even know they existed. Where can people find out more information about them and their programming?

It’s awards show season, and you know what that means! Time for me to pick the nominees for the Hottest Boston News Woman of the year, and for you to vote on them. We have a good crop this year, so scan/ogle them all closely, and then vote for your favorite at the bottom of the page.

As usual, this year’s winner will receive nothing more than the slightly creeped-out feeling, that people actually vote on things like this.

And without further ado, the nominees for this year's Hottest Boston News Woman, complete with voting.
