So, what radio stations changed formats today? - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I don't listen to FM radio anymore, (XM only!), so I was thankful not to be witness to the stupid spectacle that is April Fool's on FM radio; but I am interested to hear how many stations pulled off this "gag" for yet another year.

So, who switched to Country from Pop? Who was mandated from the CRTC to play only Nickleback?

Do people really wake up and not realize what day it is?

Bah Humbug.

There truly is nothing funnier than combining ######ed morning zoos with totally original ideas like this.

I liked XL103 with the speed on green thing.

X929 fooled some guy into thinking he had won tickets to Metric (I think that was the show). That's about it really, they didn't change their format.

I remember one year, CJay and Vibe switched. If you had it on Vibe, you were actually hearing CJay, or something like that. Not too sure if they've done the same thing this year or not.

I think CJAY was doing something about having to do everything in French.
I scanned by for about 30 seconds and they had some chick do the news in French and they were making all sorts of French references.
Pretty dumb, but I wouldn't expect much more from Forbes.

The Fan960 seems to have changed their usual 20:20 sports update music to something lame today. Hopefully it doesn't stick--I like the old theme.

Are you kiddding?! I was so sick of hearing about a 20-20 SPORTS UPDATE. They really needed a refresh.

Oh, I'm sick of that theme too. I just think the new theme sucks, is all. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Ya i agree, its pretty lame. Hopefully it is just a joke and they will change it back or to something else.
