FM Frequency of the Week: 95.7

Northwest Washington: KJEB "95.7 The Jeb" Seattle

A few weeks ago, I heard Metallica through e-skip over 95.7. Never got an ID, the signal vanished a few minutes later....
 
Melbourne FL

usually overshadowed by WROK-FM 95.9 Sebastian

The two stations most likely to appear. under enhanced conditions....

WHOG - Ormond by the Sea FL 95-7 - The Hog - Daytona’s Classic Rock - 80 miles

WBTP - Clearwater FL - 95-7 The Beat - Hiphop, R&B, BIN - 120 miles
 
Central Kentucky:
WQMF Louisville (Jeffersonville, IN COL, tower in Harrison Co. Indiana)

Signed on in 1974 as WQHI "HI 95", was the first TM Stereo Rock station I heard.

The family that owned WEBN in Cincinnati bought it in 1981, flipped it to AOR, and changed the calls to the current WQMF. Now just another I-Heart cookie cutter classic rock station.....
 
Hartland, VT:

WZID Manchester, NH, decent fringe reception, adult contemporary format.

Meriden, CT:

WKSS Hartford/Meriden (rare dual COL), CHR.
 
East Tennessee----Local rimshot WDKW (95.7 Duke FM). I've gotten something else briefly underneath when I've been in Gatlinburg but no idea what.
Retro/other: I've worked at a 95.7, WCLR, "Kool 95.7", (now WHIO-FM), in Piqua, OH, (now Pleasant Ridge, but the tower remains in southern Shelby County. From time to time WQMF will override it in south Dayton suburbs.
 
Denver, CO: KDHT "Hits 95.7", one of 80,000 iHeart stations in Denver. CHR, originally KIMN-FM way back when, but changed call letters to KMYR before it actually went on the air.

KDHT-HD2 simulcasts active-rock KBPI Fort Collins, feeding translator K300CP in Denver. Both KBPI and K300CP are at 107.9.

KDHT-HD3 broadcasts the iHeartRadio "Magic" adult hits channel.
 
Wilmington Delaware

WBEN Philadelphia with a good HD signal 'playing anything we feel like'. The call letters were picked after Ben Franklin who lived in Philly.

Retro - 95.7 was home to WFLN for decades playing Classical Music. Sadly in 1997 they were sold and changed formats. WRTI 90.1 in Philly is now the only place for Classical Music and that is just for 12 hours a day with Jazz the other 12.
 
Tyler, TX:

A strong signal from local classic hits K239CB, the 250 watt translator for our heritage AM 1490 "K-DOK". During tropo, variety hits KKHH Houston will sneak in and cause fits for the translator. Just a couple miles east of Tyler, classic hits KLKL Minden, LA (Shreveport) "95-7 The River" takes over the frequency. A few miles to the SW of Smith County, the translator for 1450 KNET Palestine comes to the forefront. It, too, is classic hits. Lots of activity on this particular channel.
 
Rochester NY: Audacy's "95.7 the Fan," translator for WBEE-92.5 HD2 and, in turn, WROC 950. Local afternoon talk show, Amerks hockey, plus Bills football along with sister WCMF 96.5.

Before the translator came on, it was WAQX from Syracuse and occasionally CFJB from Barrie, Ontario or the oldest 95.7 in the region, WPIG Olean NY.
 
Kenosha, WI- Big-FM is heritage calls WRIT Milwaukee. Decent signal from about 35 miles. I used to listen to 95.7 when it was WZUU in the 70s when Larry "The Legend" Johnson did their morning show.

It doesn't take much tropo for WLHT Grand Rapids, MI to cause havoc for WRIT.
 
In Pickerington, Ohio, usually a weak WHIO if it's able to be heard over the sidebands of nearby WXMG (ex-WHOK). It's not uncommon for me to pick them up on my more selective house radios and definitely not difficult to hear them in the car.
In the west suburbs of Columbus, it's very listenable. And I know I've mentioned it before, but in their Kool 95 days, they were regularly played over the loudspeakers at Mad River Mountain, at least when I was skiing.
 
Nutley, NJ
IBOC sidebands from 95.5 PLJ
IBOC off: WBEN Philadelphia, PA (weak)
Tropo: WBEN or WKSS from Meriden, CT
 
Clifton, New Jersey

No nearby licensed stations, but I have been able to receive WKSS "Kiss 95.7" Hartford-Meriden, CT and WBEN-FM "95.7 BEN FM" Philadelphia, PA several times during tropo.

DX/Retro: On 06/12/2021, I received WVKL "95.7 R&B" Norfolk, VA during tropo. On 07/13/2021, I received WBTP "95.7 The Beat" Clearwater, FL during e-skip.
 
Yakima WA

A weak signal from KKSR Walla Walla 'Big 95-7', classic hits. Leans 1980s-early 2000s in playlist, with Tom Kent's Music Magazine weeknights and AT40 The 80s on weekends.

KJEB Seattle is a very occasional catch, I have also heard the Prineville OR station, KRCO, used to be KLTW.

Tons of E-skip given that KKSR is very easy to wipe out. On the last Es opening in January, I heard KQLZ New England ND. Others heard include KWKM St. Johns AZ (several times), KGMZ San Francisco, and KPCL Farmington NM. Probably 6-7 others logged too.
One I would love to hear on E-skip is KCGM Scobey MT, which to this day still signs off at 10PM every night and last I checked, I don't think they operated at all on Sundays. They serve a total of 1,661 people in Daniels County MT, another 1,600 in Plentywood, as well as a few hundred farmers across the border in Saskatchewan. True small-town radio.

I remember KOOL 95.7.
On my trips to Dayton, it was one of my favorites. I would switch back & forth between Kool and WGRR Cincinnati which covered Dayton pretty well. I seem to remember that most of the Dayton FMs (except WHKO 99 1 and WTUE) have had multiple formats over the years.

Kool 95 was simulcast on Xenia's WZLR 95.3, giving us something approaching full market. We owned most of the revenue north of I-70. 95,7 was the former WPTW-FM.
