While many sources say it was KDKA in Pittsburgh, in early November 1920, that is not entirely accurate. The first American station to keep a regular schedule and be heard by a local audience was probably 8MK (today WWJ) in Detroit, which went on the air in late August 1920. KDKA has spread the story that it was the first "licensed commercial station" but there was no such thing as a commercial license until mid-September 1921, and WBZ (then in Springfield MA) got the first of those. Bottom line-- both 8MK and KDKA were pioneering stations in 1920, but 8MK took to the air more than three months before KDKA did.
The first national event to be covered on a radio station was the WWJ (8MK) in Detroit.
