Screen goes blank for Boston

Once in while we come across a new website which is someone's big idea for "putting on the map" places which have been there since since Domesday.
The latest we've found calls itself "Channel:Lincolnshire" and plans to promote the county via a TV web service.
In its promotional blurb, Channel:Lincs boasts

"Channel:Lincolnshire is the culmination of the printing press, television, computers and the Internet rolled together. Never before through any media has the whole of Lincolnshire been as comprehensively represented"
(our italics)

It goes on to say that it works with a range of partners throughout the county - including the Federation of Small Businesses, Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, various sports clubs, commercial organisations and local authorities.
And it adds: "Whether your nearest town is Grimsby, Market Rasen, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Louth, Skegness, Sleaford, Grantham, Spalding, LongSutton (sic), The Deepings, Stamford or Bourne we would like to hear from you, we are here to be your platform."
So they call that comprehensive?
Notice Boston's conspicuity by its absence?
If you want to try to change that, and more importantly are in a position to do so, you can visit the site at http://www.channellincolnshire.co.uk/
If you do manage to get Boston on to their map, please let us know.
