same format, multiple markets

Hi all,
A friend and I were talking a month ago, and we came up with a list of frequencies where two or more stations are programming the same format. Can anyone think of any others? Let's limit this to just present U.S. stations. Canadians will only be allowed if another U.S. station cannot be thought of. The only reasons translators will be counted are if they are the only place on FM to hear a format, translators of full power FM stations will not count.
92.3 Urban Los Angeles, CA and Baltimore, MD. Also, isn't WIL-FM ST. Lewis on 92.3? That would match Orlando, FL in Country.
92.5 CHR Seattle, WA; Toledo, OH; and Joplin, MO. Also, Country Philadelphia, PA and Rochester, NY.
92.7 CHR Pierre, SD and Hawaii's big island.
92.9 CHR Hannible, MO and Bizmarck, ND. I think we can also include Spokane, WA in the mix, though that's actually a very CHR driven Hot AC. Also Country in Yakima, WA; Lexington, KY; and Houston, TX.
93.3 CHR San Diego, CA; Albuquerque, NM; Greenville, NC; Dallas, TX; and Tampa, FL. San Diego and Tampa are also co-owned, as are Dallas and Albuquerque.
93.7 Urban Houston, TX and Buffalo, NY. Also, CHR in Tucson, AZ; Medford, OR; and Fargo, ND.
94.1 CHR Omaha, NE and Bend, OR.
94.5 Active Rock Yakima, WA and Spokane, WA. Also, CHR in Richmond, VA and Trenton, NJ. A third match is Hot AC in Longview, WA and Minneapolis, MN.
94.7 Alternative Portland, OR and Sacramento, CA co-owned. Also Classic Hits in Chicago, IL and Washington, DC.
94.9 AAA Canon Beach, OR and Coos Bay, OR.
95.3 Country in Ellensburg, WA and Aberdeen, WA.
95.5 Christian New York, NY and Providence, RI same network. Also would the recent launch in Chicago be a match with Los Angeles in Classic Rock? Another sure match is in CHR, Portland, OR and Detroit, MI.
95.7 Classic Hits Seattle, WA and Milwaukee, WI co-owned. Also Variety Hits in Bend, OR and Philadelphia, PA.
96.1 CHR Atlanta, Ga; Charlotte, NC; Evansville, IN; Pitsburg, Pa; Poughkeepsie, NY; and Omaha, NE. Atlanta, Charlotte, Pitsburg, Poughkeepsie, and Omaha are co-owned. Also AC in Buffalo, NY and Jacksonville, FL. I think we'll count Olympia, WA as well as that plays a variety of everything that could be considdered AC.
96.5 I guess Philadelphia, PA and Miami, FL though is Miami rhythmic? For sure Philidelphia matches Reno, NV.
97.1 Sports Detroit, MI and Columbus, OH. Also, CHR in Los Angeles, CA and Salt Lake City, UT.
97.5 Country Honolulu, HI; Lincoln City, OR; and Watertown, NY. Also CHR in Bizmarck, ND and Lansing, MI co-owned.

100.3 CHR Portland, OR; New York, NY and Winston-Salem, NC all co-owned. Also sports in New Orleans, LA and Minneapolis, MN.

103.1 Christian Yakima, WA and Helena, MT different networks.

104.1 AC Bellingham, WA; Evansville, IN; and Oklahoma City, OK. Also CHR in Binghamton, NY and Houston, TX. A third is Christian in Portland, OR and Helena, MT don't understand how this one is legal since the same network runs on 103.1 and 104.1 in that market.
104.3 Country Boise, ID and Chehalis, WA. I think the station in Pullman is also doing country now.
104.5 CHR Lexington, KY and Grand Rapids, MI co-owned.
104.7 CHR Phoenix, AZ; Eugene, OR; Sioux Falls, SD; Poughkeepsie, NY; Casper, WY; and ST. Cloud, MN. Casper and Sioux Falls are co-owned.

105.1 Hot AC Portland, OR and Madison, WI co-owned.

107.9 Country Phoenix, AZ; Albuquerque, NM; and Pitsburg, PA. The two full powers are co-owned, albuquerque is a translator and not owned by Entercom.
Who can think of any additions to my list of existing matches, or new matches that I've missed?
 
Another on 100.3 that I forgot,
Classic Hits in Rapid City, SD and Washington, DC.
Also add Rapid City to the Alternative mix on 101.1.
 
You can add WBLM Portland, ME, and WDRC-FM, Hartford, CT, as classic rock stations on 102.9, and WWYZ Waterbury/Hartford, CT, as country on 92.5. Also, in tiny markets, 93.9 is AAA in both Greenfield, MA (WRSI) and Woodstock, VT (WWOD, studios in West Lebanon, NH).
 
Some more:
93.7 - Country in Grand Rapids, MI, Sheboygan, WI, and Three Lakes/Rhinelander, WI (the first two use the same slogan)
99.5 - Another country station in Appleton/Oshkosh, WI
103.5 - Country in Tampa, FL and Traverse City, MI; CHR in Chicago, IL, New York, NY, and Toronto, ON
 
Here's a few more:
94.1 I thought KQXY, WFTN, and WHBC were all Hot AC, but it looks like KQXY has officially shifted back to CHR, and apparently WFTN is also a CHR. That would add those two to the existing CHRs on that frequency.
92.3 I'm not sure about this one, does Rapid City match Portland, Fort Wayne, or between the two?
100.3 Rapid City and Washington, DC rock leaning Classic Hits.
103.9 Fort Wayne and Spokane with Variety Hits.
107.9 Fort Wayne and Syracuse, CHR.
104.7 Wenatchee, WA and La Grande, OR Country.
Austin, TX and Seattle, WA Country on 100.7.
 
100.7 - Country in Lansing, MI and South Bend, IN
94.3 - Public radio in Idaho Falls, ID and Traverse City, MI
94.7 - Mainstream rock in Green Bay, WI and Wausau, WI
There's also a Regional Mexican 97.7 in Omaha, NE
 
95.1- Top 40 in both Charleston, SC (WSSX) and Jacksonville, FL (WAPE). Both stations mix during tropo in southern SC.
92.5- Country in both Greenville (WESC) and Charleston (WCKN). So basically the entire state of SC gets country.
 
Add Anchorage to the list of Christian stations on 93.7. Also, Country on 107.3 in both Aberdeen WA and Helena MT. I also forgot another CHR on 106.1, KOQL in the Jefferson City MO area.
 
This one is probably one of the most unusual matches given the format and frequency, but Classical on 98.1 in Seattle and Anchorage.
 
Does nobody else have anything? Add Salt Lake City to Country on 104.3. Also, I think 104.3 serving Worthington, MN is still CHR, that would match Baltimore. Also, CHR at 107.7 in Bend, OR and St. Lewis, MO. Last one is Jefferson City, MO matches Tulsa with CHR at 106.9.
 
97.9 is urban in DFW and Houston. 96.5 is hot AC in Tulsa and Houston.
