After 25 Years At Calgary's CJAY, Gerry Forbes Is Calling It A Day

By FYI Staff

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.”

Last night (March 29), the Canadian pop singer played a full set from his two Swag albums, including “Daisies” and “Yukon,” for fans and celebrity friends at The Roxy — marking his first full-length performance in nearly four years.

Justin Bieber is ramping up for his Coachella headlining performance.

Despite the pop-R&B singer being up for six awards at the Juno Awards this weekend, Bieber skipped the Canadian music awards. Instead, he took the stage in the intimate Los Angeles venue, The Roxy, performing a string of Swag songs in anticipation for his Coachella headline performance in April.
