Mr. Flint owned no fewer than 3 radio stations in Rhode Island during the 1920's. WKAP opened May 11th, 1924
4. The station was 500 watts making it one of the most powerful stations in the East. The station was installed in two rooms of concrete construction in the basement of the Flint residence. The station was one of only two stations in the country of the same type. It uses the lastest speech amplifiers assuring purity of tone and volume. The antenna was supported by 2 towers, 100 feet high
5. The residence on Narragansett Boulevard, Edgewood also had a $75,000 pipe organ
6. The last listing I could find for the WKAP was in Radio Age, September, 1925.

Then there was WKBF which opened in 1924
7 The last listing I could find for the WKBF was in Radio Age, September, 1925 and I believe it broadcast from the same location as WKAP. Finally there was WDWF started in June 30, 1925 and closing in June 30, 1928
