 AM Broadcasting History
The license issued to KDKA in 1920 was a "Limited Commercial" license, and it was not the first "Limited Commercial" radio license to be issued by the Bureau of Navigation.
KDKA's own 1920 record card is especially interesting: the only references to "broadcasting" on the original card are brief notations at the top and bottom -- which look like they might have been added as afterthoughts.
If they did indeed go on the air as KDKA that night, the license issued for commercial service, then I would think that a claim that they were the first station licensed for commercial broadcasting would be valid, but certainly not any claim of being the first station to broadcast.

Other AM stations took FM licenses for what were sarcastically known as "letterhead stations" -- they wanted the prestige of saying "WXXX AM and FM." Before multiplex FM stereo was developed, some experimental stereo broadcasts were done with the right channel on one band and the left channel on the other band.
One story is told of a network official who visited a large AM station in the South and saw a stack of LPs on an automatic record changer on the general manager's desk.

The KDKA radio website has a logo that's close to the old Westinghouse one, but KDKA TV's website logo is the generic one that "CBS" O&O stations are using around the country.
Also, in May 2003, KDKA adopted a "CBS 2" logo that if you remove the KDKA name, is exactly the same as the KCBS logo in LA. Of the 22 CBS-owned stations, KDKA is one of the only ones that still uses the call letters in the name instead of CBS 2.
I am very careful what I publish, but was told by a reader (further down the mailbag) that Shelley would probably join KDKA and that Bubba would go to WZPT in the morning.
