As Dennis (and others) pointed out with Wikipedia links, KCBS/KQW was testing in 1909, though they were using experimental calls at the time. There was also a Canadian Marconi station on the air before KDKA. The first license granted in the USA by the Department of Commerce was to KDKA, but they weren't the first on the air.
