This seems absurd to me. Why on earth would they do that, considering 92.9 itself gets into the GTA quite well.

It seems all parties involved have come to some sort of agreement over the proximity of the 2 signals. JACK Buffalo also had to give up the signature JACK voice, Howard Cogan.

It's like a francise I'm guessing. If you own the rights, you get exclusivity in your area. Just like when a radio station does a car give-away, GM of Canada will insist that the station work with the closest GM dealer to the central market. If that dealer isn't interested, you can't go outside the market to find a GM dealer who is interested.
