I would think this one wouldn't get far before WDCX killed it. They have

They sure do - so much so that another attempt to put a Kitchener FM on
99.5 ended in failure. CIKZ ended up moving to 106.7 to escape the WDCX
interference...after CHCD Simcoe moved from 106.7 to 98.9 to escape
interference from WYRK 106.5 Buffalo.
The desperation to get off the "dying" AM band up there is so strong
that stations will apply for channels like 99.5 even when they already
know they won't work. (Another example is 92.9, home to superpower WBUF
in Buffalo - the old 960 in Cambridge ON moved to 92.9, then had to move
again, to 107.5. So what happened? Another new station came on at 92.9
in Haldimand-Norfolk...
