That's CBC--Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

WADN is great, but very hard to receive in Somerville.
I guess the WCAS audience has gotten older and moved to
the suburbs, so the radio station serving them is now in Concord.

I've heard that WCAS stood for

   Watertown Cambridge Arlington Somerville

which were about the only places you could get this 250-watt
station clearly.
