Of course they do.

There are two things going on here: one is the public story CKWX puts 
out to its listeners, and one is the negotiating that's taking place 
behind the scenes between CKWX and KPWX.

99.999% of CKWX's listeners don't understand the intricacies of AM 
propagation and ionospheric science; it's a pretty good bet that their 
meteorologist doesn't, either. And based on my experience, something 
like 99.99% of newspeople and station management don't know the E-layer 
from their sock drawer, and don't care.

What matters publicly is that the station's listeners know the station 
is aware that something is wrong, and that the station is trying to do 
something about it. So they put out this story, and that crisis is 
averted, at least for the moment.

Meanwhile, I'm told by sources close to the situation that there have 
been discussions underway looking for a real solution. We'll see what 
comes of them...
