There's 7 different stations with the frequency 104.5 in Ontario alone, but only one of them, CHUM-FM, is also a property of Bell Media and several Bell-owned radio stations also got channels on Bell's satellite television networks that played well outside of their radio broadcast range. It's a pretty popular station as well given it's based out of the largest city in Canada, so it stood out to me that she settled on that number pretty fast in the context of a radio presenter. Even if she's not from around the GTA, there's only
so many stations with that frequency, and from just a short search of some of the entries in the list from the US, some are either silent or have changed frequencies.
It's just a curiosity that struck me as the kind of small detail someone can slip that can inadvertently give someone's location away. It subverts my own rrat's point to explain that CHUM-FM 104.5's got a much broader coverage due to having dedicated channels for it on two different satellite providers, but imagine rrating responsibly? Still, the fact that was the frequency number she fell to for an inconsequential bit means that it's the number she thought of when she thought of radio, even subconsciously it's an association she's made, so she's got to live somewhere that has a major radio station that broadcasts on 104.5. She could have given an entirely unrealistic number instead but didn't. How much of a rrat is it really then?
