WRLP was a television station marketed in Greenfield, Massachusetts, which broadcast on UHF channel 32 from 1957 to 1978.

With cable still very much in its infancy, the Putnams decided to open WRLP as a full-time satellite of WWLP.

The tower and transmitter was located on Gunn Mountain in Winchester, New Hampshire, one of the highest points in the region.

It picked up Boston Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox telecasts, and soon appeared on cable systems across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut and upstate New York.

In a case of exceptionally bad timing, WSBK-TV in Boston (the flagship television station for both Bruins and Red Sox games at the time) was uplinked to cable and satellite providers as a regional superstation, and WBZ-TV (then the Celtics' flagship television station) was also made available to some systems in the region, effectively cutting out WRLP's carriage of those sports properties and reaping the advertising revenue associated with them.
