Is Nova Scotia that far away from any other major city in Canada that stations from other parts of the country are not heard during the day? At night, 50kW stations from the U. S. East Coast should come in to the Halifax area like gangbusters as that city, not to mention the province of Nova Scotia itself, are not that far away from the US border. I would think, for example, that Toronto's CFZM 740 -- which runs 50kW with a signal pattern beamed at the city and also the northeastern US -- could be heard in Halifax as well, not to mention other 50kW stations across the border in New England and the NE United States (Hartford, Connecticut's WTIC, Buffalo, New York's WKBW, et al).

Quite possible; I was referring more to local stations. I just had a quick listen and I hear a lot of tea kettles and something that sounds like SSTV... but little else. (could also be that my antenna is crap- I'll try another set later.)
Edit: Confirmed- there's nothing remotely tunable except for the one AM station I mentioned.
