I note the Broadcast Dialogue refers to "TSN 590 (CJCL)" in Toronto.   I guess nobody  is listening to 1050-CHUM these days

1 km long antennas? That's a significant investment for a hobbyist.

I guess if you're going to go all the way into the middle of nowhere, you better make sure you get what you came for. If AM ever gets eliminated, so will their hobby. 

A few links to articles about Nordic DXers:

The CIA's World Factbook says that The Czech Republic =16pxadded the short-form name Czechia in 2016.

What about 1610-CHEV in Markham?

Interesting how Katherine Couric morphed into Katie Couric in montage.     

Moderna booster at The International Centre before New Year's.   I was jabbed one minute before my appointment time.   Aside from a sore arm the next day, no complaints.

To make my reply about radio....Although I was inside Mississauga, I did not listen to 960-CKNT or 1320-CJMR.  I also did not listen to CFMJ or CFRB.    I believe I was boncing back and forth between CIND, CFNY and CILQ, depending on what songs were being played.

There was no replacement.  They just cut out that line.

Maybe they could have just replaced the word "Eskimos" with "Elks"?     That might have appeased the CFL fans who were listening.   

At 7 pm on Monday night it was WVSG Columbus OH (St. Gabriel's Radio) on top of 820.

How long until we start hearing Christmas shopping commercials? 

And how long until people here start whining about hearing Christmas music?

I suppose that if CBL was still on 740 Londoners would have had no trouble hearing Radio One.

I've published this before, but in case you missed it, here's a look at the Toronto radio dial in 1958 - a very different example from the one above. (That and there are fewer typos!)

The 1958 radio log is interesting.  Wonder why they had a St. Thomas station (CHLO), but nothing from London?  And Brockville on 1450 is interesting.   There were closer stations to Toronto from the east, like the other Kingston station (CKWS), although I think Belleville was still on a graveyard channel back then.  And CHEX in Peterborough had not moved to 980 yet.

I'm not sure where you're based, but that is an amazing "get." I've only received KNX once in Toronto, and it happened sometime in the 80s. I also heard KCBS in San Francisco at 740, back in the days when CBL used to sign off at night. And I had to wait until three in the morning or so to verify it.

The only other California station that's ever come in here for me was KFI on 640, long before what was then CFGM moved to that frequency. 

With all the noise present on AM these days, especially in this city, I doubt anything that far away will ever come in here again. But your post at least gives me some hope!

I'm also in Toronto.  No sign of KNX this morning when I checked at sunrise.  Instead WFLI in Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga was battling CHOK-Sarnia.     
 

So who sits in with Buck on the TV side?  Joe Siddall?   Please don't let it be Kevin Barker.

I guess Pat "Uh Huh" Tabler could theoretically provide colour from his home in Ohio if they gave him some decent monitors.

I believe there is (or was) an old timey diner at the corner of Wilson Heights and Sheppard, SE corner, called Times Square.

Still there.  And Grilled Cheese or Grilled Cheese wtih Bacon are on the menu
