The Boston Globe reports that the NPR station will flip the switch for a new tower today giving the station nearly full coverage of Cape Cod for the first time. The new Eastham signal, known as WBUH, is a 50,000-watt signal that will broadcast at 89.1. The plan is to broadcast identical programming on WBUR, WBUH, and WBUA. WBUR?s 50,000-watt signal at 90.9 FM, which serves Greater Boston, is broadcast from a radio tower in Needham.
