Could Mega stay or move?

I've been reading other boards that have CC stations being sold off as part of the DoJ deal, and I've noticed something. Other markets are having their stations flip flop for a format that CC wants to keep for the other format that apparently CC doesn't mind unloading. Is this a possibility here, i.e. a "Mega 96.5", "96.5 The Buzz", "Mix 101", "Mega 94.5", etc.?
 
I can see them letting Mega 101 go. Maybe keeping the legendary calls in another town.

But I don't see them unloading KHMX or KTBZ. I just don't get why they'll have to choose between KTBZ and KHMX. If I was Clear Channel, I wouldn't even think twice about picking KKRW as the one to go. It has a directional pattern (that probably most people don't notice inside the metropolitan area) and it is really noticable towards the southwest. Just my opinion.

Anyone alse see the Directional pattern as a factor into selling the station? I can see why it would and then again why it wouldn't.
 
CC was told which stations they have to unload by the DoJ. If it was up to the company, I'm sure KKRW would be first to go simply because of the directional signal.
 
DOJ said the calls that had to be sold?
Are you sure that it wasn't just to whom they could be sold?
