Nothing days...unless you're close enough to Franklin Township, Portage County to get splatter from puny WJMP/1520 Kent. Or for that matter, close enough to the north end of Canton for WINW/1520 there.
Night? All WLAC, all the time.

In NE PA, between Pottville and Hazleton :
The delightful WWSM and its traditional C&W music is all day, with a solid signal. They were even pretty good when local WMBT Shenandoah had been on the air on 1530 -- a matter of a 90 degree null. I was recently informed that WWSM was the former WAHT Lebanon. Their COL is now Annville-Cleona.
Can't get a good enough null on them middays in recent tries to get the unique WRNJ Hackettstown NJ, which appears to be pretty omni my way at that time. Perhaps some sunrise I'll be able to dig out WRNJ. Lol -- it's tough enough to find a listen-at-work station, of which WWSM is one. Why would I wanna null them?
At SSS, and even earlier during the mid-winter skywave, WWSM gets hacked apart first by Boston on 1510, then by WLAC. But they're the predominant one even at twilight time, until they sign off.

By the way, Hazleton is spelled wrong, despite it having been named after hazel trees along some crucial commerce road. Some clerk misspelled it, and it stuck.

Day
Usually nothing, threshold KGA spokane, WA in winter.
Sunrise/Sunset
KGA Spokane. Once caught KIRV Fresno, CA (Religious) at sunset.
Night
KGA Spokane, quite strong at times. KSFN San Francisco is in rarely with an ethnic (wasn't it Chinese or some other Asian language?) format.

From Phoenix....
Days: Local business-talker KFNN is licensed to Mesa but transmits from the far-north side of Phoenix, about 30 miles away. At 22,000 watts, it covers the valley pretty well.
Nights: KFNN drops to 100 watts (It's a Class D) and is only audible on the north side of the city. In my part of the city (also about 30 miles away), Denver sports station KCKK comes in fairly well.

From coastal Alabama: daytime, the 1510 in Port Sulphur LA travels the salt-water path; nights it's WLAC, though not as strong as it was back in the early 60s. I recently traveled thru the Nashville area and was surprised how weak the station was days in the small towns going south down I-65. Didn't seem like 50 kw.

In Houston, daytime is a very faint KBED-Nederland. I have logged KBED at night once before from Houston a little over 3 years ago, which is a no-no as they are a 5kW daytimer. Nighttime is a listenable WLAC-Nashville.
From Bellville, Tx. about 65 miles NW of Houston, KAGC-Bryan is the strongest station at 1510, but when it shuts off at dusk 1510 is predominantly WLAC.
