I just re-did all of mine. I have a Kenwood tuner with three groups of six presets on FM. AM has one set of six.

FMI
93.9
94.3*
96.3
100.3
101.9
105.9

FMII
94.7
95.9
97.1
98.7*
99.5
102.3

FMIII (these are my "distant" presets; mostly for use in SW Michigan)
88.1
88.9
90.5
90.7
91.5
102.1

AM is mainly for nighttime listening, since there's pretty much nothing in Chicago that I care about
580
650
720
740
860
1640 (Part 15)

I used to listen mostly to WFMT (98.7), but the signal has had so much distortion ever since they put in the HD exciter that I can't stand it for long. Currently, most of my time is spent listening to K-Love. Why? It's positive and encouraging! :)
 
I have two groups of six presets on FM and one group of six on AM, on whatever radio it is that's installed in my car.

107.1 is for web streaming from my iPhone...which is about 85% of my "non-DX" listening. Bookmarked stations (in no particular order), Radio Bop/Radio Bop 60s, Rich Bro Radio, Martini in the Morning, KRTH HD-2, CKOC, CJOY, Airstream FM, KCEA, Classic FM (UK), Super FM (Brazil).

100% of Mrs. Cyberdad's listening is XM. (156,73, 122 among her presets).
