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?
