What do you get on a clear channel station, 750?

I get in Bothell, WA these stations:

KXL Portland, OR (News/Talk)
KERR Polson, MT (Country)

Yakima, WA I've gotten KXL, KERR and KOAL Price, UT.

From Lexington, KY

At night....Pretty much just WSB. At sunrise, years ago, I heard WPDX from West Virginia.
 
Nothing during the day, but WSB off and on at night. It's actually more reliable a catch in Mississippi than in Alabama where I used to live.

Some nights, though… No, most nights, it's splatter and noise from the 740 station in Tulsa. I think it throws a lobe this way that mixes with some unknown but equally strong signal to make a noisy, unlistenable mish mash of sound, that spills over to 730 and 750 on some radios.
 
KXL, day and night. Real flamethrower too; yesterday in Pendleton, about 1530 PDT I heard it in town (PDT's situated in a valley in the otherwise flat NE Oregon) and it sounded like a semi-local.
 
30 miles north of Chicago it's WNDZ during the day & WSB at night with South America sometimes fighting it out with WSB when the
conditions are right.
 
WBMD in Baltimore about 60 miles to the northeast of me, it's a non-commercial religious daytimer operating at 730 watts, sending a very weak signal toward my location. At night, it's a good, reliable reception of Atlanta's WSB.
 
In Durham, North Carolina, daytime it's New Hope, NC-licensed WAUG, broadcasting with 500 watts from the campus of Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, while clear channel WSB in Atlanta owns the frequency at night.
 
Usually WSB with other weak stations in the background at night. during the day, a very weak station I haven't identified ( suburbs of philadelphia )
 
KXL Portland owns 750 in the Northwest at nights, however once in awhile CKJH Melfort will briefly overtake them. KERR Polson & KMMJ Grand Island are fairly regular at sunrise. I've also logged WSB Atlanta, YNX Nicaragua, and CJWW Saskatoon (before they moved to 600) on 750 over the years.
 
Ive never heard anything other than WSB here at night in Indinana,,, There may be times that it nulls for a sec, and ive heard little split seceonds of another station but I never could ID it, or even know for sure if it was a co channel i heard and not a spur. I can sometimes get WSB in Mornings and evenings about 2 hrs each side of sunrise and sunset, but its pretty hard to hear it in midday, I only recall getting it in midday once, back in like 92-94. in that area.
 
Day and night - splatter from 5kW/50kW 760 KFMB, 7.3mi, 320° from me. To the east I can sometimes make out a not-yet-ID'ed station in KFMB's null, but KFMB's splatter is too strong for me to have any trace of KXL to the north/northwest.
 
In the LA area, nothing but IBOC from local daytimer KBRT 740. At night though, I get some sort of sports station, since I heard the Sporting News Radio jingle on that station. It's too weak in order for me to ID, does anyone know what station is this?

Possibly WBMD from Baltimore?
 
750 here of course is WSB. It does get interference at night from some Cubans or foreign stations. WSB comes in during the daytime during the winter, but usually very weak.

A good loop antenna or car radio will be able to hear it better.
