No formal training. He learned quickly, on the job...
Mansbridge worked as a ticket agent for Transair at Churchill Airport in
Churchill, Manitoba. In 1968, Mansbridge was discovered by Gaston
Charpentier, a station manager for the local Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC) radio station CHFC, when he heard Mansbridge making a
flight announcement.
Charpentier hired the 19-year-old Mansbridge as the host of CHFC's late
night music program.[7] In 1971, Mansbridge moved to Winnipeg to
continue as a reporter for the CBW radio station and in the next year,
he joined CBWT-TV as a reporter.
