Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:36pm on Friday, August 14th, 2009 | KDKA AM 1020 describes itself as the oldest commercial radio station in the United States. Other radio stations have made the same claim.
KDKA is one of four remaining radio stations east of the Mississippi River that have call letters beginning with K, rather than W. The others are KQV AM in Pittsburgh, KYW AM in Philadelphia and KFIZ in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
KDKA was first owned by the Westinghouse Electric Company. On November 2, 1920, KDKA broadcast one of the first ever radio news broadcasts, reporting the US presidential election returns (Warren Harding beat James Cox) from a shack on the roof of a Westinghouse building in East Pittsburgh.
