Former Ottawa radio host Mark Sutcliffe, who was unceremoniously laid off by CFRA a month ago, has produced a short video that humorously depicts his post-radiowaves life.
The video, which can be seen on YouTube at https://youtu.be/yt18uwvyJTo, opens with Sutcliffe waking at 6:15 a.m., anxious that he’s late for his CFRA Today show.
After making lunch for the kids and forlornly waving goodbye to his wife, Ginny, from their living-room window as she heads off to work, Sutcliffe’s day continues with many of his old habits intact. He answers a telemarketer’s phone call, for example, by announcing “You’re on the air.” Later, a chance encounter with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, whom Sutcliffe has interviewed “like, 200 times,” suggests that most of the world has forgotten that Sutcliffe ever even existed in the first place.
Screen captures of Mark Sutcliffe A glimpse into my life without early morning radio, and my sincere thank you to Ottawa listeners for their support.
Sutcliffe says he decided to make the video as a way of saying thank you to regular listeners and others who have offered him encouragement since he was let go.
“There has been a tremendous outpouring of support since I left CFRA. The other day I was walking down the street and a car stopped in the middle of the road and a woman got out and came over to me and said, ‘I miss hearing you every day.’”
He jokes that he often offers to simply phone former listeners at their homes at 6 a.m. “I could start a wake-up call service.”
“But people have been really, really great,” he adds, “so I just wanted to say thank you, and have a little fun with it, too, in that while it’s obviously a big change in my life, it’s not the end of the world. Life goes on, and my life is great.”
He adds, too, that as a regular columnist with the Ottawa Citizen, as well as television host, newspaper and magazine publisher, book author and philanthropist who sits on numerous boards, he keeps pretty busy, despite his layoff from CFRA.
