• FCC Report 10/11: North Carolina Translators Caught Operating Without Parent Signal (radioinsight.com) — A local FM translator at 101.1 W266DQ in Weymouth, which rebroadcasts Quincy's 1510 WMEX, has filed to go silent after briefly surrendering its license. The FCC report notes broader national declines in AM, FM, and translator stations, but the key local impact is that this Weymouth signal is currently off the air.
