a good stream of controversial threads on www.radiowest.ca on
very early radio.
first radio station being the Province newspaper's on March 13,1922
and bragged about on the morning of the 14th in print.
The station was operating as "station FE" which got real call letters in 1923 as CKCD
Elsewhere it is noted as the second registered station in Canada.
All three Vancouver newspapers raced to get a station on the air that year
The Province followed by the Sun (CJCE) which was caught off guard and printed - on March 15th "we have been operating for several days" - So who really knows how to answer the question which station was on the air first.
and then the World followed March 23rd as CFYC
a few foot notes
the World and the Sun tried very hard with 8 hours of programming but the Province survived as it was leaner.
The Sun was associated with Sprott Shaw and eventually they took over morphing into CKMO.
There were other stations broadcasting following that period in March/22
Seven in total in the province that year
The info on your 1922 page needs to be upgraded
