Default Some AM and SW DX questions

CBC-1 (which replaced the CBC's regional services on AM through most of
Canada several years ago) re-broadcasts selected programmes from
international broadcasters on their FM repeaters throughout Canada in the
wee hours of the morning. I think that they tape and broadcast rather than
simulcast.

From Maryland, I just got the following, but correct me if I am wrong:

Bahamas ZNS Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas -1540 AM
Callsign was "Voice of the Caribbean"

Radio Holland around 1540 AM

CBC-1 (Canada ?)), around 1500 - 1600 khz, was simulcating broadcast
news from different countries, but not sure from where in Canada.

If this makes sense, are any of these programs simulcast, like Radio
Holland, over CBC-1, or some stations in the US? Do the international
AM broadcasters stick to the typical US MW frequencies, or can any of
them get picked up in the low SW frequencies? Thanks...
