AM Frequency of the Week - 1050 kHz

What do you all get on 1050 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH I get a rather fuzzy sports talker WTKA/Ann Arbor, MI during the day. With local WJTB 1040 being off the air for the past week and a half it helps in DXing this frequency during the day. Right now at night as I'm montoring 1050 I'm hearing ESPN Desportes WEPN/New York, NY (heard talk in Spanish and mention of New York) with another station mixing in with 'The NCAA Radio Network' carrying the UConn vs Kentucky championship game which I'm pretty sure is CHUM from Toronto but haven't heard an ID for that station. 1050 is definitely a sports filled frequency here.
 
I've got a local here on 1050.

Nights, I can usually null their 279 watt non-directional signal, and hear a weak CHUM/WEPN, either or both.
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago:

Days, semi-local WLIP, Kenosha, WI: Fair

Nights: WLIP stays at 250w ND, but usually disappears into the slop. CKSB (Winnipeg) is the most likely to rise on top....especially pre-sunrise. CHUM used to turn up from time to time, but not recently. As for the New York 1050, I haven't heard it in years. As WMGM/WHN, it would turn up on very rare occasions.
 
In Yakima, WA days it's KEYF Dishman, WA.
Nights it's a mix of several including CJNB in Saskatchewan, KBLE Kirkland, WA and KTCT San Jose, CA. Also caught were KORE-OR (sunset) and KMTA Miles City, MT (sunrise). I also hear SSers on occasion, maybe XED?
