[QCWA] KDKA #1?

[N0UF]

One of Donna's facts:
> Umm, not exactly.  Fact four:  KDKA went on the air a few days earlier as
> 8ZZ and waited anxiously for the license to arrive that said they could do
> commercial broadcasting.  It finally arrived on 1November, just in time to

My question to Donna:
If 8ZZ, 8MK, 1XE  or any of the others were licensed to do commercial 
broadcasting, why would they eventually apply for commercial licenses?
