More than that.

1300 in Fresno ran it.

1540 in Santa Cruz ran it.

1050 in San Francisco ran it.

All within a 100 mile, or so, radius.

Perhaps even 1210 in Philadelphia, when the merged Westinghouse/CBS 
couldn't figure out what to do with WCAU (AM) (the TV was sold to NBC, 
and thereby became an O&O ... a replacement for the failed swap of NBC's 
Cleveland O&O for Westinghouse's KYW).
