   What about WEEI? Doesn't it qualify as a continuation of the station started in 1925, merely with a frequency change? WRKO is considered a continuation of the station started as WNAC.

   For Massachusetts as a whole, WSAR may have the second-oldest calls after WBZ. IIRC, it's the second or third oldest surviving station in the state (can't remember if it started before or after WNAC/WRKO). WSAR may have had different calls briefly -- a few months to a year, maybe? -- when it started. But I can't think of any stations with original call letters that also started in 1922. Isn't WTAG from around 1924? WMAS has its original calls, but it started in 1932.
