Ok here's my question has this ever happened before on the exact frequency
Where 2 stations in the same frequency had a genre of music 40 miles apart from each other and had similar formats?
 
I know it's a challenging question but it's been on my mind for sometime now. I thought it's an interesting question to ask.
 
First of all, KDAY and KQAV are more like 70 miles from each other targeting different markets with different formats. One is Classic Hip Hop, the other R&B Oldies.

But if you want to get the biggest possible answer to two stations on the same frequency doing something similar go to 1993 when 100.3 WKSZ Philadelphia flipped to CHR as "Z100" giving it the same brand as the station in New York. Of course it only lasted a month until they were threatened with a lawsuit for trademark infringement and became WPLY "Y100".
 
There was KKCI in Kansas City and KWK-FM in St. Louis in the 1982-84 timeframe, having the exact same AOR format with very laconic announcing, both consulted by Bobby Hattrik. Yes, they're 250 miles apart. But halfway between them is Columbia, Mo., where I was living at the time and where I had a Channel Master FM antenna on a rotor. I could get more or less the same thing by aiming west or by aiming east.
 
There is 102.5 KDON in Monterey and 102.5 KSFM in Sacramento that had the same type of format that was not that far apart. There are some parts of the Bay Area where you could have both stations go into one another and you could not tell what station it was, if it was KDON or KSFM.
 
As a kid growing up in L.A., Maybe the late 60's, KSRF-103.1 Santa Monica, and KOCM-103.1 Newport/Costa Mesa had the same sort of beautiful music formats. But, that is probably closer to 50 miles.

Here in SoCal, a little farther away, but how about 94.3 in the SFV, 94.3 in Orange County, and 105.5 about halfway between simulcasting the same programming: "Que Buena"
