Could somebody give me a lesson in receivers appropriate for extracting time
from WWV?

Is $10 a realistic price?

Somebody should do an SDR project for this.

Modern microcontrollers have ADC's which are capable of sampling fast
enough and plenty of processing power to demodulate all the parts,
including the phase modulation.

Clock the microcontroller of your house-standard and you have a pretty
good sanity-check on your GPS receivers.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Yes, this would not need to be tunable as WWV is at a fixed frequency.  I
have seen a receiver that uses a 10MHz crystal in the front end and then
mixes the signal to baseband then samples it with a PC "sound card".  $10
in parts easy

You extract the time in the PC software.  I say "PC" but a really low-end
computer like a Rasperry Pi would be perfect for this, maybe over kill but
you'd want the features of the OS to send the time some place
