On the Air - WCMA - 29 Nov. 1926  

An article found in the South Bend News-Times dated 12 Dec. 1926 proclaims:

Culver, On the Air,
WCMA is the new Culver Military Academy broadcasting station, which was formally opened and gave its first program on the evening of Nov. 29. So many artists have been engaged, and the public seemed so clamorous for encores, through telephone and telegraph messages received, that the program extended from 8:30 o'clock that evening until 2 o'clock the next morning. Thousands of fans listened to the program that evening, and hundreds of congratulatory messages received at the station on the following day. It is the best broadcasting station in northern Indiana, and sends on a wave length of 258.5 meters
