April 2009 brought many changes to "The Edge", with the loss of midday jock Ralphie, evening jock Sloppy Joe (who voicetracked from California) and all local weekend air staff in favor of national programming from Premium Choice's "The Alternative Project". On weekdays, the midday slot and overnight slot are filled with The Alternative Project programming, while the remainder of the day is for local talent. The music in the evening comes from The Alternative Project, but since the Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx already airs on sister station KZRR, voiceovers are replaced with a local jock. All weekend programming is The Alternative Project. At the same time, The Edge made a substantial change in the station's programming, going from playing "harder" music, like Slipknot, Korn, and Metallica to contemporary pop artists like Mumford and Sons, Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters and many 1990s acts, such as Bush, The Toadies, and The Offspring. These changes have proven controversial for many listeners; however, the station had seen a rise in ratings since the format changes were made.
