AM Frequency of the Week: 920

I'll update my post which seems to be in teeny tiny print.
Knoxville TN area: Sometimes WGKA, Atlanta. A hodgepodge at night.
Retro: Western Ohio: A mix of WBAA and WMNI. WBAA was a local when I lived in Lafayette, Indiana.
Very retro: My family vacationed in Fremont, Michigan in the late 60s and one of my daytime stations for top 40 was WOKY. It wasn't the strongest but definitely listenable. In the evening, interference came in, the pattern changed and it was gone.
The Tustin MI SDR netted me WOKY, CKCY, and WBAA near sunset
 
"The late, great CKCY" (Sault Ste. Marie, ON), has been coming up since we re-started this thread. It's been gone since 1992. And the fact that it's still turning up in multiple posts speaks to the fact that this station got out very well at night. The owners pulled the plug on CKCY and folded what was left of it into sister station CHAS (FM). Reason: CKCY and (smaller) CFIN between the two were loising #1M/year, and there was a recession going on. Which also could explain why the DA might have been leaking, and enabling CKCY to get out so well. What I remember at my location about CKCY was it's singsong shotgun jingle and it's near nightly ability to wreak havoc on WOKY. At my college location in Iowa, CKCY owned 920 most nights.
 
Chicago by the lakeshore:

Daytime: I can barely get WBAA in certain areas, but mainly I don't hear anything.

Nighttime: CKNX in Wingham, ON is the most common one. I got CFRY once too. They were broadcasting a high school sports match I believe, something you don't hear on radio much. Nowadays there's some source of static on 920 in my building so I can't DX this frequency anymore. Oh well.

My error on that, the Candian station in question would have been CKNX on the Tustin receiver with WBAA
