I'm not sure I understand your question, but I don't think Eastlink carries that one, at least I don't remember it.

EastLink does carry WCVB, as well as Boston's NBC, PBS and CBS stations on analog cable and WSBK on digital. The Boston stations are carried by most, if not all, cablecos in NS.

Eastlink started carrying them in 1996 or so. WBZ and WHDH are on nearly every cable system in Atlantic Canada. WCVB is on most of the NS and PEI systems, but others in NB carry WXYZ from Detroit for ABC instead.

As for being receivable OTA (which the original poster seemed to ask)...hell no.

Where I live in Amherst, EastLink (then Bragg Communications) switched the signals in late August of '96- previously to that, BCI here carried ABC/NBC/PBS from Detroit and CBS from Toledo. WDIV was recently dropped from the Maritimes edition of TV Guide- WXYZ and WTVS are still listed.
