Fringe signal from WIYY '98 Rock' in Baltimore MD. The signal improves quickly as you head SW on I-95. It is the longtime Flagship station for the Ravens and recently for the Orioles. It is somewhat unusual for a music station to carry 162 baseball games/year. It pairs coverage with WBAL 1090/101.5. During TROPO WBEY 'Bay Country' comes in quite well from Crisfield MD. I've heard it in stereo many times but have never heard WIYY in stereo.

Tyler, TX:
K250AJ Tyler, the translator for Oldies/Standards "QX-FM" KZQX Tatum-Longview. Usually a good signal.
Two Hip-Hoppers constantly cause it grief, though. KBFB Dallas and KBXX Houston. The former is a regular in Tyler, overpowering Chuck's translator often. KBXX sneaks into Tyler on occasion, but much less regularly than KBFB.
Never have caught KQLK from De Ridder here, however, KRRV will get picked up by K250AJ instead of KZQX, at times, turning 97.9 into a full-fledged (albeit temporary) country station.

Denver, CO - For now, a fringe signal from iHeart's KXBG Cheyenne, WY, "Big 97.9", country, targeted toward Fort Collins and Greeley. There are mutually-exclusive applications for LPFMs at 97.9 in northern Denver suburbs (one is in Thornton) because our FM dial isn't trashed up enough already...so the situation may change.
Could certainly put THAT on a T-shirt! Heyooo!

I get WSKQ-FM New York, NY. Currently, Mega 97.9 is on analog and HD1. I think they had an HD2 channel years ago. I forgot what it was, but it was not in Spanish.
Retro: For many years, it was known as a WEVD-FM, which aired brokered programming in different languages. In 1989, it became Spanish-language WSKQ-FM while WEVD moved to 1050 AM. It was first branded as "FM 98", followed by "KQ 97.9", and then "Mega 97.9" in 1993.

In Boise Idaho, well, this 
In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, it's alternative rock 97-9X WBSX in Hazleton, PA with transmitter atop the Pnebscott Mountain. Owned by Cumulus, it has been a rock station since it was first launched around 2000 when they were originally on the 93.7 frequency(now country "Nash FM WSJR).
Back in the 70's, the station was based in Hazleton and had ran a instrumental music format with the WVCD call letters. Then sometime in the 80's, it remained a beautiful music station, but this time changing their call letters to WWSH and their on-air branding to "Wish 98", however, by the early 90's, from what I remembered, it evolved to an all-vocal soft AC format. Years later, the soft AC format was dropped and flipped to rock music with the "Mountain" branding and the WZMT calls, then around '96, changed the branding to "98 Rock". Then came 1997 when then-Citadel Communications bought the station and then switched to alternative rock with "The Bear" branding under the WXBE calls, which also simulcasted in Lackawanna County on 95.7 under the WXAR calls. Around the turn of the millennium, the rock format was modified again, this time as "Z-Rock" with the WAOZ calls, while 95.7 was WEOZ. By 2002, it went to the current rock format, and two years later, Citadel moved the transmitter from Hazleton to the Pnebscott Mountain to better serve the Scranton/W-B area as well as the Poconos.
