WXBR-1460 in Brockton, MA is also owned by BTR.   On weekends they do have a
lot of local programming, and weekdays local high school and farm league
baseball.  They seem to use the BTR and LTR satellite feeds as fill-in for
time they don't sell.

I have reason to believe BTR is financially challenged, so having WLFP-1550
off the air would not surprise me.

One thing that is weird is that WXBR does not show on the BTR or LTR web
site station lists.  I do know as a fact that they own WXBR.  I put in the
02905 Zip Code for Providence and got Boston, Cape Cod area and CT stations.
No WXBR.
