The Making of Mansbridge

Post City Magazines has an interesting article on Peter Mansbridge; how he got his start in broadcasting, and went to become the CBC lead anchor:

“One day I was announcing a flight in the terminal. A guy heard me. He was from the CBC and he offered me a job there,” Mansbridge says.

Mansbridge began by working the late shift as a DJ. He admits he wasn’t very good at it, but it built his confidence to the point where he could be a radio broadcaster.

“I had never thought of it as a career. At the time, they didn’t have a newscast, so I started one,” he says.
