Light of Life Ministries won the rights to what became 91.5 WWRN Rockport, MA in a 2007 filing window because UMass Boston’s application inadvertently placed its proposed coordinates in Quebec due to a typo. After filing an appeal, UMass Boston’s application has been returned to a pending state. In order to potentially allow UMass to be granted a CP and keep WWRN on the air, Light of Life has applied to relocate WWRN to 88.5 with an increase from 530 to 750 watts while retaining its existing 57 meter antenna height (Coverage Map).
