I have a timeline of WBZ/WBZA technical history that I copied off the 
wall of the engineering office that makes the same claim. I have never 
seen it substantiated anywhere else.

I suppose the daytime signal from Hull gets just weak enough around 
Springfield that it could have been overridden in town by the East 
Springfield signal, but it would have created a ring of noisy, messy 
interference across much of the rest of central and western Mass.
