Hotel Statler, Boston

["Russ Butler" <oldradio@earthlink.net>]

Just surfing some old hotel names and I find that The Statler Hotel in
Boston was built in 1927, and it was the first hotel in the world to offer
radio service in its guest rooms!  It was a two-channel system with the
guest selecting a channel and listening with earphones or a loudspeaker in
the room.  The cost of the installation in Boston in 1927 was $50,000,
andanother $750,000 to install radios in the Statler chain's six older
hotels in Detroit,  Cleveland, St, Louis, New York and two in Buffalo, NY.
The Boston hotel was E. M. Statler's last one that he built.  He died of
pneumonia in 1928.

Would anyone  know what two radio stations were that occupied the two
channels in each or any of the Statler hotels?
