Probably a show on another CBS-owned station, like WBCN or the like.  But, 
as for why it was bleeped out - my stations have a policy to not allow 
another station's call letters or programs be mentioned except by previous 
agreement...it might tempt the listener to turn to the other station, and 
thus away from WBZ (oh no! :-)
