FYI, I believe TOUCH is running 100 watts, so it’s hardly an enterprising 14 year old kid playing DJ with a 1 watt transmitter.

There’s an FM station in Woonsocket, RI (WWKX, 106.3), which is on an adjacent channel to TOUCH at 106.1. WWKX’s coverage area extends into the Boston metro area, and will be a fairly weak signal at that distance. So there may well be an interference problem.

I checked the website. They sell advertisements, disguised as tax-deductible "Corporate Sponsorships." Link.

TOUCH falls right on the edge of WCOD's fringe area. So far as I can tell, it's the closest station right on the same frequency. There are also WHDQ in Claremont, NH (1600w), and WSCA in Portsmouth, NH (100w). Too far away and too low power to reach Boston.


WCOD 106.1 in Hyannis, MA
 

WWKX 106.3 in Woonsocket, RI

WWKX would probably be obliterated on most cheap radios near TOUCH, even though it is a channel up at 106.3.
