Yep.  It's run out of Ed Perry's WATD in Marshfield.  It is carried on
the SAP of WGBX-TV (44) and WENH-TV (11).  (Elsewhere in the SAP
department: WGBH-TV (2) carries DVS and BBC World Service; WBZ-TV (4)
and WCVB (5) carry main program audio.)  On subcarriers, it's heard on
a number of local stations including WATD.  It's also carried on a few
college and high-school stations when those stations have no local
programming.
