It is impossible to use a complete SFN for analog broadcasting, so a
combination of SFN and NSFN is used. The same frequency can be reused
somewhere else, if the same program is transmitted the reuse distance
can be lower than when different programs are transmitted on the same
frequency. So the most popular commercial station uses all frequencies
from 102,1 to 102,7 MHz. Some of them are used 3 or 4 times.

I've noticed that Sky Radio transmissions are all concentrated around
101 MHz.
I've driven around the Netherlands, and that station has maintained
very good coverage with the RDS sometimes switching to another
transmitter only 200 or 300 (304 :-) ) kHz away, without any 'mush
zones'. A nice implementation, (or perhaps just a good car radio :-) )
