I have been hearing CBW Winnipeg with a good signal in the mornings
about 7:00 am. There is national news and then local programming with
no commercials. The national news at 7:00 am includes world and US news
items often not heard on the US networks. Their mailing address is:
CBW communications, 541 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3B

I've been hearing them from Western NY during the evenings on my
Sangean DT-200V, some nights with a signal so good it almost sounds
local. I listened to their election coverage (ridings in Winnipeg and
Manitoba environs) a few weeks back and sent them a snail mail report
the next day. I never noticed them on the dial until the beginning of
this Fall. All of a sudden they just appeared one night and I couldn't
believe my ears. I wonder if they changed their antenna pattern. It's
not true DXing, but 1200+ miles on a pocket radio is kind of satisfying.
