Is Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap A Corus Or Bell Media Show? Or Both?

I ask because I heard a promo for a podcast of the show on NT1010 Tuesday morning, via the iHeart Radio menu. Yet it also still airs on Corus' Q107 Sunday nights at 9 PM. 

How does that happen? Isn't a show exclusive to one station group or another? I know podcasting is a different animal than broadcast, but doesn't the rule of exclusivity still apply?

The show is owned and distributed by Bell Media’s Orbyt Media syndication division. Most affiliates are Corus stations.

Global had this in an article when it relaunched.  
A new syndicated version has been picked up by Corus Entertainment (Global News’ parent company) to broadcast on nearly a dozen of its rock stations across the country. Episodes will air Sundays in most markets, which include Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton and others.

I guess I just found it odd that it airs on Corus stations every week, but it's advertised as a podcast on iHeart stations, including CFRB. If the target demos weren't so different, you could almost say they're advertising another station's show.
