Far northwest suburban Chicago, it's WLS-FM on 94.7. I calculate that I'm 44 miles from their Willis tower stick. (Which, of course is really Sears Tower.)
The downtown Chicago signals are a little "thin" by the time they get out here, but still strong enough that with a normal "barefoot" radio it's still extremely rare to hear them get overpowered by same-channel skip. Adjacent channels can sometimes be a different story during tropo events.
