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.

107.9 KDXX (HD) Lewisville (DFW) "Latino Mix 107.9 y 107.1" Univision Spanish language CHR. Takes out KTLH quite easily. Full HD on occasion. HD2 is Tejano KXTN SA, HD3 is TUDN 1270 KFLC.

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)

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.)

96.9 KSCN Pittsburg "Star Country 96.9" ETX Broadcasting, weak to fair 1.5-2

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

93.1 KTYL Tyler "Mix 93.1" Townsquare CHR, local 5
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.
