FM Bandscan Swan, Texas pt. 1

[Deleted member 108832]

Bandscan commenced at 4:45pm, Wednesday July 5, 2023 with an Insignia HD Radio purchased from Best Buy. I'll use a scale of 1-5 as judgment of signal strength. No mention of blank dial positions, unless I note that it isn't normally a blank. Added personal commentary is italicized.
In reverse, as the tune+ but is inoperable.

99.1 KNES Fairfield (uh...Tylerish, I guess) "Texas 99" J&J Broadcasting "real country" weak 2 (Gets killed by ZonaMX KFZO DFW frequently. Also have heard "Sunny 99.1" Houston on occasion)
98.9 KTUX Carthage (Longview-Shreveport) "Highway 98-9" Townsquare classic rock, weak to nearly local at varying times 2-5

97.5 KTBB-FM Troup (Tyler-Longview) "97.5 KTBB" Gleiser N/T, good to excellent 4.5-5 (wreaks havoc on KALK next door. Bleeds onto 97.7 badly. KWTX-FM has also wiped this station out on several occasions.)
97.1 KEGL Dallas-Fort Worth "The Freak" iHeart sports, fair 2.5
96.9 KSCN Pittsburg "Star Country 96.9" ETX Broadcasting, weak to fair 1.5-2
96.7 KOYE Frankston (Tyler) "La Invasora" Alpha Regional Mexican, almost local 5 (KHFI Austin has caused Invasora problems over the years, but I've never heard The Ticket from DFW)
96.5 KVKI Shreveport "96.5 KVKI" Townsquare AC, weak 1.5 (this one gets hammered by KHMX Houston quite a bit)
96.1 KKTX-FM Kilgore (Tyler-Longview) Townsquare classic rock, local 5

95.5 KAFX Diboll (Lufkin-Nacogdoches) "95-5 K-Fox" Townsquare CHR, weak 1-1.5 (another of equally lackluster strength is country KITX "K95-5" Hugo, OK, which weakly battles it out with KAFX)
95.3 KWLL Gilmer (Longview) "The Well" ERFET Christian teaching, weak 1-1.5 (it used to have a better signal here in Tyler, when it was still "The Breeze". The ERFET moved it to a new tower and it caused a significant signal loss in this direction.)
95.1 K236CH Canton (Tyler) "95.1 The Bee" Butler7Media full service (variety hits, I guess), fair to moderate 2.5-3

92.7 KISY Blossom (Paris, TX/Hugo, OK) "92-7 Kiss-FM" CHR, very weak 1
92.1 KRWR Tyler "92.1 The Team" Gleiser sports, local 5 (it and 104.1 lock on every receiver in the house)

So that's the AM & FM dials in this part of the Lone Star State. I hope you have enjoyed reading them, and if you find yourself around the Tyler area, please feel free to use these as your very own handy radio guide.
