When I moved to Barre Center, NY (just south of Albion and almost exactly
between Rochester and Buffalo) I created an FM station list of the
stations
I expected to hear. (I would have created a TV list too, at least for
VHF,
but I already knew I could watch channels 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12,
and 13.) That was in 1991. I still have that list in the "Storage"
directory on my computer. It shows stations in Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Rochester, and all over the Niagara peninsula from the Toronto area
south.
Sure enough, I could get them all. But the most striking thing is that
nearly every frequency was occupied. Since that time at least four new
stations have been added in NY alone. I doubt they make a shoehorn large
enough to squeeze another one in, but people just have to try.

They sure do - so much so that another attempt to put a Kitchener FM on
99.5 ended in failure. CIKZ ended up moving to 106.7 to escape the WDCX
interference...after CHCD Simcoe moved from 106.7 to 98.9 to escape
interference from WYRK 106.5 Buffalo.
The desperation to get off the "dying" AM band up there is so strong
that stations will apply for channels like 99.5 even when they already
know they won't work. (Another example is 92.9, home to superpower WBUF
in Buffalo - the old 960 in Cambridge ON moved to 92.9, then had to move
again, to 107.5. So what happened? Another new station came on at 92.9
in Haldimand-Norfolk...
