WIP Philadelphia with a good HD signal and an all Sports format. Unlike most Sports stations it is all LOCAL with no programming from ESPN, CBS or FOX. Philly listeners only want to talk Philly sports and don't care about teams from other cities unless the Philly teams are playing them. They are the Flagship station for the Eagles and the Phillies.
HD2 - KYW 1060/103.9 - All News
HD3 - WYSP - Rock - It used to be on 94.1 before WIP moved from 610 AM to 94.1.

Additional observation from Meriden, CT: During enhanced propagation conditions, WHJY Providence, RI, is a frequent visitor with its rock format.

KLNO Fort Worth, Regional Mexican "Que Buena 94.1" with a fair signal. Very consistent signal, albeit distant, from DFW. Oftentimes, KQXY Beaumont, Hot AC "Q-94" will sneak in and overtake KLNO. I've also logged KTFM San Antonio Rhythmic CHR "94.1 KTFM" here. Been awhile, since it's now a sports outlet.

Correction. It’s licensed to eagle lake (next to Mankato). I was thinking of 93.1 KATO with the new ulm reference
Denver, CO - Leg 3 of the "Aurora Triangle" - K231BQ Golden, simulcasting KOA (augmented by K231AA Boulder). Yes, two translators on FM representing a class A AM station. In the eastern part of the metro, reception can be adversely affected by Aurora's KETO-LP at 93.9, as mentioned in the appropriate thread last week.
Of historical note from the Bay Area - 94.1 is the longtime home of Pacifica flagship KPFA. But not the original home. KPFA started out at 100.1 in 1949, moved to 104.9 in 1950, and may have operated for a time on 104.5 in 1951. Judging by newspaper accounts of the time, the station was frequently off the air, but toward the end of 1951, the station had settled on a transmitter site in the hills on the Berkeley-Oakland border. But in December of that year, a big windstorm, one reportedly strong enough to shake the Golden Gate Bridge, blew down the tower. Rather audaciously, KPFA doubled down, buying a new site much higher up on Grizzly Peak Boulevard* in Oakland where it remains today, bought a more powerful transmitter from a station that had gone under earlier in 1951, KSFH, and went back on the air with a better signal in January 1952. Reading between the lines, I think it was the purchase of the KSFH transmitter, which operated at 94.9, that motivated the move to 94.1 - that application was filed late in December 1951.
* Footnote - KPFA isn't on Grizzly Peak itself; it's on Fish Ranch Peak. That signal is actually shadowed in downtown Berkeley itself by another hill, which is why there's KPFB at 89.3 in downtown Berkeley.

Central Kansas:
A blank frequency locally, but I’ve pulled in both KDNS/Downs and KFKF/KCK at different times, both with fair to weak signals.
North Iowa:
Bleedover from adjacent KIAI/Mason City, but KRNA/Iowa City does fight through it fairly often depending on location.

In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, it's a local translator for ESPN Sports 630 WEJL with a very strong signal. It's strong because my house is just a few blocks away from the transmitter believed to be sitting atop the garage on the back of the Citizen's Voice building across from the former high school. The translator has been on since late 2019 and this is a very odd situation because there is already an existing translator that rebroadcasts the very same ESPN radio signal over on 96.1, also serving W-B.
Before this translator signed on the air, WQKX(94KX) from Sunbury regularly comes in very decently on a good radio. The signal was much better when heard on a car radio. I was very disappointed when that WEJL translator signed on this same frequency because I can no longer hear 94KX unless you can get very far away from W-B. I could even still hear the ESPN signal while on I-81 south going towards Hazleton(between the Nanticoke and Nuangola exits) and a few miles south of the W-B exit via the Northeast Extension of the PA turnpike. Plus, it is prone to interference with the adjacent WTRW 94.3 signal, which can be heard in my area.
I think there is no reason for this translator to exist at all, given that there is already one on 96.1

Two translators are likely needed due to the geography of the area.

Canyon Lake Texas:
All Sports KTFM from Floresville/San Antonio with a good signal. They also carry the Cowboys games these days. I heard very dour announcers while running a quick errand and listening to the game.
KLNO from the Metroplex and KQXY from Beaumont have made it here during ducting events, but those have not been too common on 94.1.
