Without question CKVL.  You'll probably never hear them make any sort
of official ID, but they might mention their callsign (say-kah-vay-el)
or telephone (which probably starts with 790, set-nerf-zayro).  (790
is Montreal's equivalent of 931 in Boston.  Almost all radio stations
use lines in that exchange; all of the Radio-Media call-in shows use
CKAC's line at 514-790-0231.)

Perhaps Canada?
