Gerry Forbes has been a staple of Calgary radio since the early ‘90s, with his irreverent on-air persona and his involvement in the community. When he turned 60 two years ago it was expected CJAY 92’s morning man would retire, but instead, he re-signed for another two years. Well, the time has come, and on Thursday he announced on air that he was moving on in a month.
On his Facebook page yesterday, Forbes wrote: “Thank you to everyone for the kind words and messages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I am overwhelmed by the kindness and thoughtful words from everyone. It’s been a gift and privilege to have worked at such an amazing station with a team of superstars. I don’t often shed a tear, but they were flowing today.❤️ Stewart Myers and Chad Martin have been amazing as my Generals and for the next month till I hang up the headphones we are playing back the best moments of the last 25 remarkable years. Thanks again everyone for an incredible day.”
His news made the news in The Calgary Herald and CTV (see clip below).
