At noon today, Sunny 104.5 and Smooth Jazz 106.1 will go dark as Clear Channel Radio prepares for changes at the two stations.

Clear Channel confirmed that WJJZ-FM (106.1) - longtime home of Dave Koz, David Sanborn and Spyro Gyra - will become "Philly's 106.1" with a format known in the trade as rhythmic adult-contemporary. It's billed as an uptempo mix of music aimed at adult women. (Sample: Michael Jackson's "Rock With You," Rihanna's "Unfaithful," Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," and Madonna's "Sorry.")

Philly's 106.1 also will get comedian Whoopi Goldberg's new syndicated weekday morning show. It starts at 5 a.m. Monday.

Clear Channel, the nation's largest radio operator, is not expected to disclose its plan for 104.5 until next week, at the earliest.

In the meantime, the new 106.1 signal will be simulcast on 104.5.

"Don't Let the Sun go down on Me" Some one called it back in 2002

I remember when Alice first flipped to Sunny someone on this board jokingly wrote that Sunny would play Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me" when it it's self flipped to another format down the road. Four years latter we know that that person hit the nail right on the head. If that person is still on the board I would like to hear from you.

What was the last song played on Alice? I liked that station when I used to work in Philly.
