Heads rolling at major NJ station?

I believe that Press Communication's Thunder country does offer an alternative to cookie cutter country radio, as it has been playing some lesser known songs and artists.
Some of the posters have been criticizing sound alike radio stations along the Jersey shore, yet taking Thunder to task for not being "focused" (in other words, playing the same 20 currents over and over).
This leads me to believe that some simply dislike Press Communications, as they have apparently have made a number of poor decisions. But I do feel that they are offering something different and refreshing with Thunder Country. Though it does remain to be seen whether the new Nash FM will be significantly impacting their ratings, Thunder has been doing quite well.
So I for one hope that Press does not sell Thunder, or cut the playlist down as they did with The Breeze.
 
According to B98.5's FB, Nina & Tom are moving to 107.1 & 99.7 this Monday 4/22.
Kelso & Sara will take over on B98.5 this Monday at 6 AM.

The HUGE announcement has been made!!! Pork Roll and Eggs with NINA and TOM is BACK...and they're moving to 107.1FM Monmouth/Ocean & 99.7FM in Southern Ocean Monday morning! Same great show...different dial! Kelso & Sara will take over mornings starting Monday at 6am on B985!

I do not listen to Thunder, however it is a format hole that's being served.  The Breeze A music radio station is pretty much a 94.3 clone, and you also have WOBM, and BOTH Magics (98.3 comes in Northern and Central Monmouth) that cater to the A/C crowd.  If B is billing well and are doing great in their demos, so be it.  I just don't see the point in this swap or am I missing something  ???
