It seems to me that radio station WWJ in Detroit Michigan also claims
to be the first commercial broadcast station.  It is still on the air
with the same call letters.  As I foggily recall, their claim is based
on the fact that they were running their programming with paid
commercial sponsorship, while others were essentially being run for fun
by hobbiests.  Any Detroiters (or others) out on the net who can
provide knowledgeable comments on this wealth of "first" radio
stations?
