DX in Amherst, NY 8/6/05 and Station IDs needed

Here are a few of the more uncommon stations I received tonight here in Amherst, NY, a suburb of Buffalo. I need help identifying a few of these, Radio Locator and other sites couldn't give me much info on them.

88.5 WRUR Rochester, NY - college
90.1 religious (but later I also noted something that sounded like alternative, so maybe contemporary Christian?)
90.5 WBER Rochester, NY - alternative
90.9 WJNY Watertown, NY - classical
91.9 possibly an AC/hot AC/classic hits or something similar, very faint, maybe from Canada?
95.7 possibly religious?
97.5 WFRY Watertown, NY - country
98.3 CFLY Kingston, ON Canada - AC
99.7 WZXV Palmyra, NY - religious
101.3 possibly religious, since it sounded like a Bible-oriented program was on
102.3 Christian - very faint, sounded like UCD 102.3?
103.7 sounded like a jazz station
104.3 WFRG Utica, NY - country
105.5 WTKV Oswego - classic rock
106.9 WPHR Auburn, NY - urban
107.5 CBCK Kingston, ON Canada - CBC radio

Other than that I had my usual DX from places like Erie, PA, Jamestown, Rochester, and London, ON Canada. Any help on figuring out some of these stations is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This 91.9 is possibly CKLY, known as "Y92" out of Lindsay,
Ontario just Northwest of Peterborough, Ontario. They do
play AC music.

Maybe CFBU "Brock University" out of St. Catherines, Ontario.

I cannot find the Religious stations that you heard on those
frequencies 95.7, 101.3 and 102.3 from the Northeastern States
and Canada in Bruce Elving's 19th Edition of the FM Atlas, but
for the Religious programs, they *may* be just radio stations
airing a special religious program, one of these frequencies
may be simlucasting another religous station, could be a translator
you heard or you maybe receiving some long-haul tropo on those
frequencies who knows!

I think 91.9 and 103.7 are the only stations I tried to find out for you...that's all I can do.

I haven't really turned my radio or TV on at all tonight. I'll have
to do that after I get off my computer sometime since I receive lots
of interference from my computer...it's killing DX!

Again, that's all I can do! Take care and all the best.
