True about WTIC; I can't think of any station earlier with the same 
continuous calls or COL.  Also true that WBZ was in Springfield at 
first, although they did open up their Boston studio in February 1924. 
And let's not forget WDEV in Vermont, which goes back to July 1931 and 
those call letters are still in Waterbury VT, aren't they?
