I heard something so unusual on Thursday night, I thought Rod Serling might come out and do an extro. 

Evan Solomon has been off on vacation this week, with a Calgary broadcaster named Zane Velji filling in the 12-2 PM timeslot across the country on the iHeart Radio Talk Network. He's scheduled to continue next week. 

Fast forward to 10:30 PM that night. Charles Adler is talking politics on the Corus radio network, including 640, and introduces his next guest: Zane Velji. 

But it gets stranger. At the time he's on Adler's show, 'RB is rerolling that afternoon's Solomon show, hosted by the same Mr. Velji. 

Which means not only was he on two stations in multiple markets on the same day, he was on two of the main Toronto talk stations on the same day - at the same time!

I wonder how Bell feels about their fill-in host doing an interview with their biggest competitor, even as they're running his show. I suppose he's a freelancer and can do it, but you might think that for at least this week, he'd be exclusive to only one broadcaster. 

It's possible something like this has happened before on Toronto airwaves, but I can't remember when. It was certainly very strange to hear him hosting on one while guesting on the other.
