At least so far, the CBC's been taking a different path with the 
stations in the Prairies. Most of them now have "nested" FM transmitters 
  that cover the big cities with a kilowatt or two (CBK actually has two 
of them, in Regina and Saskatoon), and while it's not impossible to 
imagine the CBC trying to shut down the AMs and run only off the FMs, 
there's a lot of open territory they'd have to cover with additional FM 
transmitters to replicate all that service those AMs provide.
