FM Frequency of the Week - 91.5 MHz

What do you all get on 91.5 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it's mostly WOBC/Oberlin, OH (Oberlin College Freeform station). When they're off between semesters I get WKHR/Bainbridge, OH with a nostalgic format and less often WKRJ/New Philadelphia, OH and WBIE/Delphos, OH
 
Far northwest suburban Chicago. 91.5 here is WBEZ, Chicago. The city's main NPR outlet, owned by the Chicago board of education. Signal here, like all downtown Chicago FM is fair-good from 44 miles away. If anything, for whatever reason, it's one of the better downtown signals.
 
Here in Poughkeepsie, NY we have a local on 91.3, so on 91.5 no-one is real close, and we have a choice of 4 regular signals to listen to, depending on which way the antenna is aimed. To the South, it's WNYE New York City. East, it's W218AV Warren, CT rebroadcasting WMNR-88.1. To the North, it's WRPI Troy, NY. And West, WPAU Palmyra, PA, rebroadcasting WVIA-88.9. Including all DX, 26 stations have been heard here on 91.5, including KTXK Texarkana, TX, KIOS Omaha, NE, KSIV St. Louis, NE, WBEZ Chicago, CIWM Brandon, Manitoba, WBJC Baltimore, and most distant is KRNE Merriman, NE (1419 miles).
 
In Meriden, CT, it's WGRS Guilford, simulcasting WMNR Monroe with classical music. This is about the northern limit of clear reception, a few miles to the north, 91.5 gets crushed in the splatter of 91.3 WWUH West Hartford and 91.7 WHUS Storrs.
 
Here in Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs), a slew of stations have been heard here at 91.5. Among them: WSRN Swarthmore PA(college station), WNYE New York,
WBJC Baltimore, and some I don't know of. Usually, 91.5 is just splatter from 91.3 WTSR Trenton or 91.7 WBMR Telford PA(Bucks County).
 
From Gary Indiana (basically anywhere in Chicagoland), it's WBEZ Chicago. It's only 1 of 2 Class B stations in the non-commercial band, licensed to the city of Chicago (WMBI-FM on 90.1 being the other one), & the only one that transmits from Chicago (WMBI-FM has a grandfathered Class B license, transmitting at 100kw from their tower in Addison Illinois, the same tower as their daytime station on AM 1110).
