Not really.

The guy who controls every aspect of WFCC's sound, Mario Mazza, lives on
the Cape.  He's WFCC's general manager, and he also heads the sales and
programming departments. He has offices in Brewster and Waltham but spends
only two days a week in Waltham. WFCC's music comes from a hard disk array
in Waltham, true enough, but most of the spots are produced in studios on
the Cape, as are local features like the "Birdwatcher's Report".
