what happened with Jan Arden?

For a few months prior to this there were stories of a feud between Gerry Forbes and Jann Arden, so this was planned well in advance, but, on April Fools Day about three (?) years ago, CJAY's president came on the air and announced that the station had been bought by Jann Arden. She then came on the radio, announced that she was changing the station's format to a lite-rock style, and "fired" Forbes. They then played stuff like Carly Simon for a while before letting everyone in on the joke.
People who got suckered were calling in for hours angry over the format change, and protesting Forbes' dismissal.
