My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest in peace. I listened to you on KBIG when I lived out there in the mid to late 1990s.

Think what a bummer it would be to actually die on April 1st.

Well, the Daily News (or the Post, I can't think which but you can news google it) reported she passed away on March 31st.  I think, unfortunately, if it were an April Fools joke, the only date she'd have floating around would be 4/1. 

Hope I'm wrong.

As part of the Alex Bennett morning show on Live 105 in San Francisco in the 90s...Darian was a formidable rival...she was witty and entertaining...and will undoubtedly leave a void on the airwaves...R.I.P.

Curtis:  as I recall, she said some nasty things about Alex that he claimed were untrue (accused him of harassing her with obscene phone calls, iirc). Was that ever resolved?

Wow, I never had the chance to meet her but I did listen to her, it was always fun. We sent each other a few emails when she was at KSAN. Sad sad news...

I remember  the   advertising  on  CCCT  buses ,and  her  picture,  and  her  slogan.  "Ovaries  with  an  Attitude",, In  1994,,, she  couldnt  compete with  Gary  Bryan, and  J.Paul  Emerson,, The  PD  at  KFRC  then  was  David  Bramnick,,he  really  knew  how  to  pick  a  morning  show  R.I.P  Darian,,  and  I  will  never  forget  J.Paul Emerson!!!!!!!!!!!!  Kenny in  Concord

For what it's worth, KCBS just announced her passing this morning- five days after it happened. I'm guessing everyone thought it might have been an April Fool's joke at first, which would account for the delay on the report. Normally I would have expected her passing to have been reported immediately given the fact that she was fairly well-known around here.

RIP, Darian. Radio fans will miss ya.

The Chronicle published a good informative obit about Darian this morning.  Here's the link on sfgate:

No, I'm guessing that nobody at KCBS knew about it until they looked through this morning's Chronicle in search of news stories they missed elsewhere.
