A very good case can be made for CINF being, until today, the oldest  
operating broadcasting station
in the world. They started as XWA on longwave 250 kHz in the fall of  
1919 (Marconi experimental broadcasting station)
then became 9xx (forget the exact call) in 1920 then CFCF in 1922.

Yes, I know about the 1909 claim of WCBS......
