Not at all. WCRB did its own program with Dave O'Neill (?). In fact, it's
only been in recent years that WCRB actually aired the "background music"
piped out during the fireworks; for years, they would selectively program
classical pieces they felt best went along with a fireworks display.

While the fidelity may blow on AM, also realize that WBZ is the top radio
station on either band in this market, and the exposure the Pops people will
get from having the show aired on 1030 (which can probably be heard in
2/3rds of the lower 48 by the time the fireworks will go off at 10ish or so)
will be immense.
