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 also 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.

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.
