Decent amount of AM in Toronto, Canada. Mostly talk shows and lots of sports broadcasts/discussions. 680 is handy for news/weather/traffic as their format is to do a 'loop' of major topics over a period of 30 minutes.

1010 also broadcasts on shortwave to be able to hit cottage country:

In Greater Toronto area, I like 1150AM which used to be sports station (opex galore) (and an oldies/community radio station before that), but in a cost-saving measure, now just simulcasts a subscription (!) business news TV station (BNN Bloomberg).
