I didn't hear about any April Fools stunts in this market this year. Did I miss any? And what are some good ones you remember from years past?

I remember, in the late 80s, John and Dan, the Dawn Patrol on Rock 103 (KRSP, now the Arrow) would give their time checks one hour later than the actual time. They did give a little hint they were doing it because they always had the "Awake Before 8 Club" and on April Fools Day, they did call it the "Awake Before 9 Club." Another one I remember is, I want to say, around '09 or '10 maybe. It was after the Freak Show with Mick and Allen had moved to afternoons on K-Bear 101 (KBER). It was April Fools Day and the guy Chad that was one of their sidekicks was supposedly at a gas station in, I want to say, Kaysville, where to promote KBear 101 they were selling gas for one dollar and one cent a gallon. Chad always came across as kind of slow and I don't think he ever said the name of the gas station and people were calling in trying to figure out where to go. (I apologize if my "kind of slow" comment was offensive but that was his persona and they used it to make the joke more plausible because, if you knew Chad, it would totally make sense that he would forget to give the name of the gas station.) I didn't hear any of these but I seem to remember reading in Lynn Arave's radio segment that KOSY played Christmas music the entire day on April Fools one year and X96 (KXRK) flipped to a soft rock format called 96.3 the Touch on April Fools day one year. I was out of town on April Fools Day th is year so didn't get to scan the dial for anything.
