Do they?  This afternoon, while driving into my office, I found nothing 
of interest on either WGBH or WBUR (that seems to be happening a lot 
lately.  Are even the public stations moving to soft news?), so I turned 
to WBZ.  Good thing I did.  The traffic report said that Storrow Drive 
inbound was closed at Kenmore Square due to a motorcycle accident.  I 
heard that just as I was about to try to get on Storrow Drive at 
Charlesgate.  Just in time for me to take a left, go up Commonwealth 
Avenue, and cross the BU Bridge to Memorial Drive.  I don't think I 
would have gotten anything that useful on WBUR or WGBH.
