Pretty much all of the CBC AMs in eastern and central Canada have been
turned off -- CBI (1140 Sydney) lives, IIRC, but it's directional away
from us because Richmond.  Of course, "ici première chaîne" service is
still available on CBEF (1550 Windsor, formerly CBE) and CJBC (860
Toronto).

Well, they were once commercial and now they're not.  I still listen
to Ideas, probably one of the best spoken-word anthology programs out
there, but via podcast rather than by pounding the ionosphere.
