Is WILD-AM's Audio Problem At The Source?

[Don]

At the top of the hour at 3PM...I heard them doing "City News".

And a couple of the stories were:  "WCVB reports that....."

Is there a local host reading stories?  If so, where are they loctaed from?

(Or is this someone in China pulling up stories from WCVB.com?)
