Gerry Forbes: Retired and Lovin' It!
Updated: Dec 11, 2019
This week's podcast features Calgary radio legend Gerry Forbes. Gerry spent the bulk of his career at CJAY92 and when he announced his retirement this March, it's no surprise that the station's competitors let out a silent cheer. For over 25 years, Gerry's morning show, a staple in Calgary, sat comfortably and unshakeably, in the top three in the local radio market.
Gerry comes from a long line of radio talent -- or at least one generation -- his dad was a broadcaster at radio station 630 CHED in Edmonton. And apparently it really is genetic because as many in the industry know, his brother Marty Forbes caught the bug, too. In preparing for the episode, we reached out to some of the people who worked and were inspired by Gerry's work over the years. In the episode, you'll hear from people like Bob Harris who was his program director throughout the 90's; Terry Dimonte who went up against him from 2008-2012; and Gerry's brother Marty who spent his career in Edmonton, and on the management side.
I have said before and I will say it again: great radio inspires more great radio. In this episode, join us as we reminisce with Gerry about some of the most memorable stunts that he conjured up, what makes Calgary so great, and how one listener would use the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council process against him.

We also have to give a special mention to our new sponsors from across the border in the USA: Radio Pepper Prep and Aiden Wolf Voiceovers.

Tôi thử quan sát những chủ đề dưới nước, các loại mục tiêu, hiệu ứng hình ảnh và những nhiệm vụ được mô tả trong phần thông tin game. Nếu hiệu ứng quá dày hoặc hình ảnh chuyển động liên tục khiến chữ và biểu tượng bị che khuất, việc theo dõi nội dung sẽ kém thuận tiện hơn. Tôi cũng kiểm tra cách các tính năng như boss, pháo, bom hay lưới điện được giới thiệu để xem người mới có thể hiểu chức năng từng thành phần hay không. Với…
This was an interesting read for anyone considering publishing their first book. Having professional guidance can be useful when navigating unfamiliar publishing requirements and decisions. I particularly liked the emphasis on understanding the process before committing, which makes NSW book Publishers worth exploring.
I found the discussion informative because plumbing maintenance is something many property owners only think about after a problem occurs. Taking preventive steps can save time and reduce inconvenience. Access to experienced elpaso plumbing tx can be valuable for handling everyday plumbing needs efficiently.

Mình lấy Xổ số làm điểm thử, xem qua những phần cần thiết rồi chuyển sang một hướng khác. Đến lúc quay lại, mình chủ yếu nhìn tên danh mục và vị trí trên menu thay vì cố nhớ chuỗi thao tác ban đầu. Mình cũng thử bắt đầu từ một trang khác để xem cách định hướng có còn quen thuộc. Khi các mốc chính xuất hiện tương đối nhất quán, việc tìm lại nội dung đã xem trở thành một thao tác tự nhiên hơn.
A great tribute to Gerry Forbes and his remarkable career in Calgary radio. It’s interesting to hear about the memorable moments and the people who worked alongside him over the years. I also came across Kolkata Fatafat while exploring different topics online, which was an interesting discovery.
