Strong HD signal from WUSL 'Power 99' in Philadelphia with a Urban Contemporary/Hip Hop/Rap music format. On rare occasions I've picked up Class A WSBY in Salisbury MD with the same music format. It puts a good signal into extreme SW Delaware. Since they share the same format it is difficult to tell them apart during TROPO conditions. I have to wait for a commercial break to hear the location of the local ads.

East Tennessee (Knoxville/Sevierville): Translator W255BK (WLNQ), Newport in some areas, but not Knoxville or even much of Sevierville. The former WSPA (now WYRD) would fade up now and then, particularly in Sevier County. Now and then WSIP, Paintsville, KY sneaks in.
Retro/other: I've worked at a 98.9, WBYR, Fort Wayne (Van Wert, Ohio). It had and had a tremendous signal, especially East and Southeast. It's been heard in Pigeon Forge but not by me. When I was growing up in West Central Ohio, this facility was much lower-powered WERT-FM, which was off the air by 10pm. Otherwise, WSLM, Salem, IN could drift in.

Denver, CO -
KKMG Pueblo-Colorado Springs, "98.9 Magic FM", CHR Site on Cheyenne Mountain. Not quite in stereo but I’m still able to hear it.
4th of July Sell-a-Bration in Sonoma, CA - 98.9 KSOL from San Francisco. Reception varies depending upon atmospheric conditions.
Personal Retro - The station where I started my professional career, KFRU in Columbia, Mo., now has an FM translator at 98.9. I’m told by my relatives still in the area that it often gets interference from KQRC Leavenworth, KS (Kansas City).

No nearby licensed stations, but I receive WUSL "Power 99" Philadelphia, PA frequently during tropo.

Here in Kansas, 98.9 KQRC
Central Kansas:
Up until a few years ago, KQRC/Leavenworth would be a frequent visitor, even during non-DXing days (about 150 miles from their transmitter). K255DK/McPherson, which relays KMCP (ex-KNGL), is now on the frequency, though it’s slightly weak, as I’m about 20ish miles away from their transmitter.
North Iowa:
A weak KQCR/Parkersburg

In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, it's the Scranton translator for "Gem 99 & 100". Broadcasting with the effective radiated power of 154 watts, this signal can be easily heard anywhere in the Wilkes-Barre and surrounding areas and can also be picked up until reaching the Hickory Run State Park along the NE Extension of the PA Turnpike. "Gem 99 & 100" also has the W-B translator on 99.9 which covers the Wyoming Valley and the northern half of Luzerne County.
Before Gem moved to the frequency, it was a translator for 750 WQOR, a Catholic station mostly simulcasting EWTN radio programming. Their programming has since moved to 104.5, which was a translator for "Gem 104" before shifting to "99 & 100". The main 750 signal, on the other hand, is now a Gem simulcaster.

The Bear was one of my favorite stations when I'd visit western Ohio. Kick-butt signal all the way to Bellefontaine, where it gave way to the current WTOH from Columbus once you crosse the ridge.
WBYR seemed to have a good signal all directions (but not a booming downtown Fort Wayne building-penetrating signal
