gray's radio career began in october 1924. some sources have stated, erroneously, that she was canada's first female broadcaster; but researcher peggy stewart, in her 2012 book "radio ladies: canada's women on the air 1922-1975," tells the stories of women who were on the air as early as 1922, including mary conquest of cfac in calgary and elizabeth macadam of ckmc in cobalt. but there is no denying that gray was one of canada's early women announcers, and she went on to have one of the longest careers of any female broadcaster, a career that lasted for more than five decades. her radio career had begun when she joined station cjgc in london, ontario; she hosted a program where she read poetry. she also gave advice to the listeners; by some accounts, this was the first advice program on canadian radio. at that time, she did not use the name "jane gray"—she used her actual name, elsie gray. but she met a numerologist who told her that the combination of letters in her name was unlucky; she decided to select a different and shorter name, and chose "jane gray."
