Radio One Flips to Jack-FM in Columbus, but Keeps Joyner on in Mornings

Radio One flipped to free-form “Jack-FM” in Columbus, OH, but kept Tom Joyner on in mornings. They’re playing Rolling Stones/Satisfaction now. Other artists include Nirvana, Gin Blossoms, and Young MC. I wonder if another owner would have kept TJ on in mornings with this format. If history is any guide, the answer is, “no.” (Although Radio One is hurting right now and so probably couldn’t afford to breach the contract with TJ.)
