WRNI has started broadcasting on 102.7

[webcastboy]

According to the following press release, WRNI has taken over programming on 102.7 out of Wakefield-Peacedale.  No word on call letter changes yet.  Admittedly this is more a Providence board issue, but since WRNI still has many strong ties to WBUR, it's kinda relevant.

WELCOME TO WRNI 102.7 FM

I just wanted to send a short e-mail to all of our listeners that beginning tonight at one minute past midnight (12:01am May 17, 2007), WRNI will, at long last, broadcast on FM throughout Southern Rhode Island. (Click here to sign up for Joe's email newsletters.)   This is truly an historic event for public radio in Rhode Island as tens of thousands of residents will now finally be able to hear their NPR News Station.  I hope you'll tell all your friends from Warwick to Newport, from Westerly to Little Compton that they should tune their radio dials to 102.7 FM.

Sincerely,     
Joe O'Connor
General Manager  WRNI

When I first saw the title the only thing I could think of was... RNI, We're the wet one.

When I see those initials I think of the abbreviation for a shortwave pirate:
Radio Newyork International...

Wikipedia: "Allan Weiner of Monticello, Maine, USA, who had been a resident of Yonkers, New York, was a radio engineer who had operated both a licensed radio station and unlicensed transmitters.  (snip)...As a result of this meeting, Weiner, Ford and other associates decided to replicate Radio Caroline as Radio Newyork International from a ship to be anchored in international waters off Jones Beach, Long Island, New York.
While the station was actually called Radio New York International, the name contraction gave Weiner the opportunity to use of the old Radio Northsea International jingles and thus call their station RNI."

It's now being ID'd as WRNI-FM.
