Look-a-likes?

Postby jon » Fri Sep 05, 2008 5:58 pm

Given the popularity of Mr. Dog's radio people picture contests, I thought I'd show a couple of supposed look-a-likes. Only clue I'll give at the outset is that both of the "real" radio people are currently heard on the air (from time to time) in Edmonton. The same can't be said for the look-a-likes.

OK, this guy is heard on the radio not a lot more than the guy in Set #2. And neither have ever actually been paid by a radio station, to the best of my knowledge.

Finally, I should say that the radio guy in Set #1 is the one who selected the look-a-likes I've feature here.

Very good!

Third is Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel, who is actually heard on the radio quite a lot. Even did a proclamation making last Tuesday "Rob & Audie Day".

Layne Mitchell dreamed these up. And has just supplied his bio for edmontonbroadcasters.com, which includes a long stretch in Victoria, where the drawing of him shown above originates:

Layne Mitchell - Graduate Western Academy Broadcasting College, Contemporary Broadcast Diploma, Saskatoon 1997. DJ overnights CKBI Prince Albert, Saskatchewan 1997; overnights & promotions assistant CFMC-FM Saskatoon 1998; evenings & writer CJYM Rosetown, Saskatchewan & CFYM Kindersley 1998-2000; afternoon drive CIMG-FM Swift Current, Saskatchewan 2000; afternoon drive CKYX-FM Fort McMurray 2000-01; morning drive CJZN-FM Victoria, B.C. 2001-06; afternoon drive CHDI-FM Edmonton December 2006-current. Born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
