What was the first radio station made a broadcast in 1922?

If you are asking about the United States, the year was not 1922. It was actually 1920. Many sources say the first station was KDKA in Pittsburgh, but 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 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. As for 1922, it was the year of the "radio craze" -- in 1921 there were perhaps 20 stations in operation, but by mid-1922, radio's popularity had exploded, and several hundred stations went on the air.

What were radio facts?

The first radio station was NOT Pittsburgh's KDKA, although it was certainly an important early station. Commercial radio began in 1920, and probably 8MK (later known as WWJ) in Detroit was the first, going on the air in August of 1920, while KDKA went on the air in late October. Early radio did not have commercial advertising. Most stations were only on the air a couple of hours a night in those early days. In the first year of radio, there were perhaps ten stations. But by 1922, the radio craze was exploding all over the US, as several hundred stations went on the air. Commercial advertising didn't become common till the mid-1920s. Some stations aired news reports as early as 1921-1922. Most radio broadcasts in the 1920s featured live performers, as tape had not yet been invented. Some stations played phonograph records, but most used live and local talent. The first national radio network was NBC (National Broadcasting Company), which began in late 1926.
