I can't think of any US stations with skywave programming for Canada, 
but there are a few stations in northwest Washington with target 
audiences in Vancouver BC.  KARI-550 in Blaine has been airing religious 
programs primarily for Canadian audiences for the last 40+ years, and 
even has a Canadian toll-free number prominently displayed on its 
website www.kari.com.  KARI's sibling, KVRI-1600, programs mainly for 
Vancouver's large South Asian population, as does KRPI in nearby 
Ferndale.  The town of Blaine sits squarely on the US-Canadian border, 
and Ferndale is a few miles farther south.  Also, KVOS-TV in Bellingham 
WA programs mainly for Canadian audiences -  its primcipal studios and 
offices are in Vancouver with a much smaller operation in Bellingham itself.
