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...
