Yes!  Growing up in the Lowell, MA, area in those years, I could hear
both Worcester and Boston radio stations, and I know I had heard Beatles
songs on stations from both cities by the time of the CBS broadcast.  I
wouldn't swear that WORC was one of them, but I wouldn't be surprised.
In those days, I'd just fish around the radio dial looking for stuff
that I liked (as I still do now).
