Two explanations:

1. Those listings are compiled way ahead of time and I'm not sure when that part of G gets prepared for the press -- probably days ahead of time. And once the listings are edited they're rarely re-edited. 

2. Mindich said WFNX would continue its sponsorships and backings of events, such as Best Music Poll, until the sale's conclusion.
