There is significant cause to believe that CKNX rarely, if ever, uses 
its licensed night pattern...

As for the earlier question about whether US stations on 1550 would be 
able to get more night power when and if CBE goes silent, the answer is, no.

Regardless of whether CBE is actually operating on 1550, the station is 
"internationally notified" to the US as though it were operating, and in 
any event 1550 is a Class A channel reserved for Canadian use under 
international treaty, so US stations will continue to protect CBE (and 
CBA, and CKBD, and all the other zillions of silent Canadian AMs) as 
though they still existed.

Call it Canada's revenge for the Great IBOC Buzzsaw of the South... :-)
