That is indeed what WCAX does.

For Boston-market stations, there's a service in Watertown that monitors
and sells tapes and transcripts, but I can't for the life of me remember
what it's called. A quick call to any of the Boston newsrooms should turn
it up; I remember that we always kept the number handy by the desk at WBZ
for the many calls that would come in.
