I hit the sack just after midnight.  However, I set up for timed 
recording (8 minute snippets starting a minute before TOH and BOH), 
and the station was definitely still on past 0033.  Unfortunately, I 
don't have a 0030 recording, but it was heard on every recording 
after that up until 0400, but not thereafter.

One thing I noticed was that the between-songs patter that I heard 
earlier was gone after midnight - just one song after another, 
sometimes with pauses with nothing but dead air, presumably for local 
inserts.  I suspect you might have heard one of those at 0033.

It's surprising that the station was not heard by Willis, as most of 
the potential suspects would be well heard in TN, I think.

Here's some clips of the station recorded before midnight:

The last one is particularly interesting: "the station the other 
stations listen to for the newest songs, today's new hit country...".
And, does he say "King", right at the end?  Not sure, but if so, that 
would seem to point the finger at WKNG.

A good mystery is always fun... any thoughts on this one?
