1923
10AT began broadcasting from the back room of Horace Stovins Pharmacy in the small town of Unity, north of Regina. This 10 watt license cost $ 10.00 and Horace received letters from several hundred miles away confriming that his staion had been heard.
1924
Stovin felt he should try and make this hobby pay for itself, so he applied for a commercial license ($ 50.00) and he and his friends erected an 82 foot tower made of wooden slats, and changed the call sign to CHSC.
1929
Stovin closed down CHSC and moved to Regina to organize Plaiunsman Broadcasters and sign a managment agreement contract to operate CKCK Regina for the owner, the Leader-Post newspaper.

Our intent to chronicle the early days of these radio and television stations has been achieved, and many new sources and technologies, from the CRTC website to Wikipedia, and others, are now regularly providing new information in these areas.
