Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada AM radio silent; are U.S. stations next?

I have a lot of comments related to the current state of commercial broadcasting that I'll save for a different thread, different time. However, I used to be an avid listener to AM. No matter where I was located, I'd find a radio and tune around until I found Art Bell. Then - I was a happy camper. He's been gone for a while now, replaced by George Noory, so I don't really listen to that show as often anymore. I don't really care for most of the syndicated talk shows, trucker shows, all-sports stations, religious broadcasters, etc. Really the only AM station I ever listen to anymore is WGN 720 from Chicago. They've got LIVE, LOCAL talk, great hosts, interesting topics (gotta love website wednesday night, lol) Generally if I want to listen to music on the radio, I don't even bother with AM. Its too noisy and low bandwidth so it generally sounds like crap, for me FM and HDradio are the way to go.
