Thanks to Wayne Heinen and Glenn Hauser who responded to my question  
- yes
it seems that CKXR is gone for good on AM, effective August 27. Now that
they and CKY are gone, CKUA will have 580 to themselves in western  
Canada,
with the exception of the low power special event station in Winnipeg.

Some years ago CKUA was silent for a few months while they got their
affairs in order and KMJ was one of the stations heard well here in  
Calgary-
they were 5kW-U ND in those days.

73,
