I'm currently living way too far away to be able to pick up their low-power AM signal at all, but their website seems fully functional to me complete with the schedule and playlist. I just found the illustration of a classic needle-tuned radio with the old CJRU call-sign in the "ADVERTISING PROJECTS" sub-section of their "About" page, and the footer at the bottom of the webpages on their website specifically reference the CJTM call letters and their 1280 AM frequency, but I have no way of finding out how well or if their AM broadcast signal is working. Realistically, they might be having problems with their transmitter system and haven't prioritized getting it back on the air or the engineer(s) have been having some sort of trouble. The station only came on in 2016, so their transmitter probably isn't old and should be easy to repair with easy-to-find and affordable spare parts if necessary. They actually share tower space with CHHA 1610; a multilingual station at the same transmitter site in the Port Lands on the eastern waterfront, so you can try that station and that might help tell you whether it's a problem with their transmitter or a more complex antenna system problem. There's also some possibility that a sudden increase in electrical interference at your residence has just wiped its weak and vulnerable signal out.

Heard 1280 AM Montreal on my drive home through Hamilton tonight.

I do normally hear CJTM, although weak.
