On-Air Challenge: Given a sentence, change one letter in one word to make a new word which completely reverses the meaning of the sentence. For example, given “The singer is not coming on stage.” Changing the “T” in not to a “W” in the word “not” makes the sentence, “The singer is now coming on stage.”
