I'm starting a new thread because of the flip confirmation.  Air1 tells me it is flipping 103.7 today at 5pm:

John Davis just informed me, which i updated on the blog, that former KSBJ afternoon jock Liz Jordan will be voicetracking weekends on the Air1 network per her blog.

Last 4 songs:
"Last Dance w/Mary Jane" Tom Petty
"In the End" Linkin Park
Recorded thank you message to listeners from the station voice (Mike McKay); Steve or Donna should have done it, IMO
"Closing Time" Semisonic
"It's the End of the World As We Know It" REM
Air 1 kicked off before the end of REM's song just before 5.

Audacity is crashing on me so I will need to restart after Total Recorder finishes recording this hour of Air1. I will make a truncated version of that clip with the Air1 DJ's comments as well, and I will try to grab some clips of Steve and Donna from yesterday since that did end up being their last day on the air with KHJK.

Initial thoughts:

Air 1 seems to share more titles with KSBJ than NGEN. It's like a Christian Hot AC, both musically and in presentation. NGEN rocks harder and is edgier.

That being said, there's probably room for all of them to exist comfortably. if KSBJ is the Christian Sunny 99.1, Air 1 is the Christian Mix 96.5 and NGEN is the Christian KRBE.
