30 day rule and sister stations

Earlier today, I thought the 30 day rule applied to sister stations. That is, if you won on a station, you couldn't win anything on that station or its sister station for 30 days. A Twitter follower challenged me on it, sounded like she had some inside info.

Here is what I know:

CFOX and ROCK 101 - both owned by Corus. Couldn't find rules and regs on their website (least user-friendly of all the stations!) Can win on CFOX and Rock 101 in the same week. No prob.

The Peak and JRFM - both owned by Jimmy Pattison Group. Win on Peak, no need to wait to play on JRFM. Cool. But can only win every 60 days from each. Sixty days!!

Sonic, Jack, News 1130, City tv, and Breakfast Television - all owned by Roger's. Win on Sonic Monday, win on Jack Tuesday. Then win on BT Wed, and News 1130 Thursday. Great!

Virgin and Shore - these used to be part of the Astral Group, but now I have no idea who owns them. Nonetheless, they are sister stations. But again, win on Virgin today, win on Shore tomorrow. Sweet!

QMFM, Beat, and Team 1040 - Bell Media owns this trio. Their rules and regs say that you can't win anything for 30 days on ANY Bell Media contest. So if you win Beat the Bank on QMFM, you can't win JT tickets on Beat. Choose wisely!
