Markets that have 2 Adult Contemporary stations

E

I remember back in the 90s and early 2000's there were lots of cities that have at least 2 Adult Contemporary stations such as KBIG 104.3 (now MY 104.3 Hot-AC) and KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles KXLY-FM (Classy 99.9, now 99.9 The Coyote "Country" and KISC Kiss-98.1 in Spokane Wa. I know several cities that have at least 2 Adult Contemporary music (Mainstream and Soft AC).

San Francisco: 96.5 KOIT, 98.1 THE BREEZE
Sacramento: 92.5 THE BREEZE (KBEB), and Mix 96.1 (KYMX)
Philadelphia: WBEB B101.1, and 106.1 The Breeze
Seattle: KSWD 94.1 The Sound, and KRWM Warm 106.9
Honolulu: 92.3 KSSK, Krater 96.3 (KRTR), and 105.9 The Wave (KPOI)
Detroit: 98.7 The Breeze, and 100.3 WNIC
Chicago: 93.9 Lite FM (WLIT), and SHE 100.3 FM (WSHE)
Miami: Easy 93.1 (WFEZ), and 101.5 Lite FM (WLYF)
Indianapolis: B105.7 (WYXB) and 107.9 The Mix (WNTR)
Salt Lake City: B98.7 (KBEE) and FM 100 (KSFI)
Reno: KRFN Fun 100.9 and KRNO 106.9 More-FM
Cincinnati: (WRRM) Warm 98.5 and (WREW) Mix 94.9
Tampa Bay: (WDUV) 105.5 and (WMTX) Mix 100.7
Boise: (KQFC) Magic 97.9 and KXLT 107.9 Lite FM

Are there any other cities that have at least 2 AC stations?
 
More Top 200 markets with two ACs. Not including translators, which adds to the list a lot!

Yortk KHVR, WGET, WARM and two translatros
Wlkes Barres Scranton WSBGa nd WMGS and WDNH
Wasau WLJY and WAVL
Tucson KTVG and KMXZ
Traverse City WXLT and WLDR
Tampa WWRM and WXCV
Syracuse WBZE and WBXL
Spokane WVNI (AM) and KISC
Sioux Malls KMXC and KELO
San Luis Obispo KSTT and KKAL

I could go on, but at least 2/3 of the markets have a pair. If you combine softer AC, Hot AC and mainstream, nearly all do..
 
*K*VNI Coeur D'Alene (K223AN 92.5 Kootenai FM) leans towards '80s and '90s adult hits, not AC. I've listened to them before, it's not the soft rock format we all know.

But they self-identify to Nielsen as AC.

It's often hard to tell what the borders of two overlapping formats are.
 
Traverse City has only one (96.3 WLXT). WLDR's been off since last October and its license could get cancelled if it doesn't return to the air by this October. Also, the far southern part of the market has no AC station (outside of possible deep fringe reception of 93.9 WDOR, 96.1 WHNN, or 98.9 WEMP) as there's a co-channel 96.3 in Ludington (which isn't in the radio market but is in the TV DMA)
 
Wilmington NC has WILT and WGNI. WGNI used to be Hot AC, but it seems to be mainstream now.

If you count WEZV Myrtle Beach SC, which was quite popular in Wilmington when it was soft AC, there are three.
