A friend of mine once did something like this when he worked nights at 
WCUE/1150 Cuyahoga Falls (back in its MOR days, the station is now a 
Family Radio repeater):

WCUE Cuyahoga 
Falls/Akron/Canton/Cleveland/Barberton/Youngstown/Chicago/New York/Los 
Angeles

As Garrett correctly notes here, everything after "Falls" is just "other 
programming".  Anything before "WCUE", same thing.

WJER/1450 about 40 miles south of here is licensed to Dover-New 
Philadelphia.  This may have taken effect in that short period.
