For What It's Worth Dep't --- I was listening to WBZ online this morning and they were touting KCBS' 100th anniversary, inviting listeners to check out the San Francisco sister station's website (kcbs.com).  KCBS began as an experimental station under "Doc" Herrold in 1909, later becoming KQW.

Interesting that CBS (Westinghouse) should own three stations that compete for the title of Oldest Radio Station in America (KDKA, KCBS and WWJ).  And wasn't WBZ the first commercial station?    -Doug
