He doesn't even know WHERE the station is located? That station is IN OSHAWA.
 

Have to side with cGrant on this one.

The Rock along with KX96 broadcast from a building on the perimeter of the Oshawa Airport.

The GTA includes Toronto and 4 adjacent Regions.  Having left Toronto after 39 years;  I have lived in Durham (Ajax and now Whitby) for over 20 and can safely say that there is still a big difference between the City of Toronto and the many municipalities (including Oshawa) that exist outside it..

Oshawa is in the Greater Toronto Area. That's good enough for me.

Oshawa is also in Durham Region. And, according to the CRTC, it's an Oshawa station. https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2006/db2006-406.htm -- accuracy is good enough for me.
 

I agree heavily with cGrant on this one. Plus also, if you own a home deep in Oshawa and you go to Downtown Toronto to do all your shopping, you are a fool.

Meanwhile, Blundell weighs in on this week's firing of a prominent Winnipeg shock jock, who finally pushed things too far after many warnings. Sound familiar?

It appears Blundell is trying to backpedal from his own notorious past and he insists he's changed.

From the CBC:

"[He] admits he's taken years to accept responsibility for a controversial run on The Edge that branded him one of the country's most outrageously crass personalities.

Now, Blundell considers himself "a catalyst for change," and sees that part of his career much differently: "It was wrong."

"And you know what? I regret it. I absolutely regret it," he says of his over-the-top comments.

"When you can look at life clearly, you can see where you're the issue.... Everything that's happened in my life — negative or positive — was caused by me, I am the author of it, not the victim of it and I think once I realized that I was able to kind of figure, 'Well, hold it a second. You have some growing up to do."'

Whether that will be enough to get him back on the air on a regular basis is entirely another matter.
