My wife and I spent Christmas in Millford, Connecticut. We rented a car and, of course, I did some dial surfing. I found a station in Montok, New York that is very similar to the former Easy 99.1. It's called WELJ and it does stream. It's quite a variety of "easy favorites" from Englebert Humperdinck to Barbra Streissand, James Taylor, Whitney Houston, and Prince, so quite a nice variety. The nice thing about the internet is I can take these stations that I find home with me. I know I'm teetering on the brink of being off topic since that's not a station in the Salt Lake/Ogden/Provo area but it reminded me of one we used to have. Another one I found that's fun to listen to was when I was on a road trip from Salt Lake to Tulsa. It's in, I think, Fort Collins, Colorado. It's a low powered station with some translators called 93.5 the Pirate. I THINK its call letters are KMZK. It's a pretty neat variety of standards and oldies and they play gospel music on Sundays. I'd love to hear about stations that you all enjoy that you stream from different places.

If you're talking about Lite AC stations that stream it makes sense to talk about the two stations that touched off everyone trying to copy them about 5 years ago. That would be 98.1 The Breeze in San Francisco (https://981thebreeze.iheart.com/) and Easy 93.1 in Miami (https://www.iheart.com/live/easy-931-5904/) Sampling them right now sounds more like FM 100.3 than the Humperdinck/Streisand end of the spectrum, but they might be dayparting for the weekend. WELJ is doing something similar right now too.
The Fort Collins station is KMKZ. Its main is an LPFM on 104.7 in Loveland with a translator on 93.5 near Fort Collins.
There's a station I was listening to a few days ago - WHAV-LP in Haverhill MA (http://whav.streamguys1.com/live) that might fit the bill. It's basically a soft oldies station with music from the 60's to the 80's. They just played "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" It's also one of those rare hyper local full service stations, complete with local happenings like plays at the high school.
