Same here. In fact, you don't even need shortwave to listen to international
broadcasters these days. In Canada, the CBC broadcasts shortwave feeds on
its local Radio One stations all through the night after midnight or 1 AM
(not sure which). When I'm a nightowl, I often listen to them like that:
BBC, Poland, Australia, and many others.

The fact that local FM stations re-broadcast the BBC was one of their reasons
for justifying the cessation of SW broadcasts targeted to North America.

MWB,

Yes the BBC is using PRI as a 'distribution agent' in the USofA
and local Public Radio FM Stations as their "Re-Broadcasters".

The result is a greater overlall 'potential' Audience
and much 'better' Listener Demographics.

I used to be able to listen to the CBC outlet from
(I think) Winnipeg on 990, and they carried a
similar lineup.

I remember listening to CBC news at the top of
every hour, presented by Bernie McNamie (sp?).

I found myself wondering, "Who is Bernie McNamie?"

Bernie McNamee (a fine Irish name). Now host of "The World at Six" on CBC
radio 1 and 2, half hour of news. Rebroadcast on RCI. You can try MW 540
from Watrous (transmitter, produced in Regina), Saskatchewan. CBC used to
call Radio 1 "AM" and Radio 2 "FM". Then they started switching the AM to
FM, and renamed them 1 and 2. 540 likely won't switch any time soon.

For further info on Bernie McNamee.

That's close, but not exactly right. What is called "Radio One" now was
simply called CBC Radio, and what is now called "Radio Two" was CBC Stereo,
going back to at least the early 1970's (as far back as I remember). All CBC
Stereo stations were on FM, for obvious reasons, but CBC Radio was on AM in
some place and FM in others (for example, CBC One in the Nation's Capital,
Ottawa, has been on FM for decades). CBC Radio was and Radio One continues
to be the normal, everyday CBC, mostly news and talk-type shows (high
quality though, not like talk radio at all). CBC Stereo was and Radio Two
continues to be more music, mostly classical, but with other musical
programs as well, at various times. Radio Canada International rebroadcasts
many of CBC Radio One's programs.

I get the BBC here overnight starting at 10 PM to 5 AM during the week on WVGR-FM
104.1, Grand Rapids. It's part of the U of M radio network.

On weekends it usually starts at 11 PM and runs to 5 or 6 AM.
