Rather than point you to another thread, I might as well copy and paste the relevant portion below. I don't listen, but it is clear that a lot of people do listen to CBC's local programming in the morning.
I don't have access to BBM ratings by daypart, but Broadcaster magazine is reporting "seven CBC Radio morning shows now ranking #1 in their markets".
And specifically quotes Calgary with a 14.6% share, Vancouver with a 15.4% share, and Victoria with 17.1% share. Other #1 rated morning shows are in Toronto and Ottawa.
