List of CBC radio AM transmitters in Canada
List of full-power and low-power CBC Radio AM-only transmitters in Canada for the CBC Radio One and Première Chaîne networks which are still in operation on the AM dial as of 2015. There are a total of 110-130 AM transmitters which are still in operation by the CBC across Canada, there's no official count as there may be some transmitters missing from the list below. Since the 1980s, a vast number of CBC full and low-power AM transmitters have already moved to the FM dial, with some new FM's being added. It is possible that all or most of these AM transmitters listed below may eventually move to the FM dial or just simply cease broadcasting in the near future. Note: This page is subject to change.
