Life and career

The son of Roi Carter Mitchell, a banker and Dorothy Catherine Mitchell, a teacher and musician, Mitchell, grew up in the Texas cities of Chillicothe, Garland, Dallas and Lewisville. Mitchell graduated in 1966 from Lewisville High School and in 1967 from the Elkins Institute of Radio and Electronics in Dallas, where Rush Limbaugh was a schoolmate. Mitchell is an alumnus of Tarleton State University but did not study broadcasting there.

A "jack-of-all-trades" in broadcasting, he began his broadcasting career at KEIR-FM (now KDMX-FM) 102.9 in Dallas. He served as a disc jockey, news anchor, news reporter, sportscaster, talk show host, broadcast executive and broadcast engineer at various stations during the first 18 years of his 45-year career (as of December 2010). Mitchell currently works as a program producer and voice-over talent at Salem Communications' stations in Miami, Florida WZAB-AM, WKAT-AM and WHIM-AM.

In 1984 he became an airborne traffic reporter for Traffic Patrol Broadcasting, giving live traffic reports on over two dozen stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. During the 1980s and 90s he also broadcast on over a dozen stations in Charlotte, North Carolina. He has also been heard doing airborne and ground-based traffic reports on all 40 English-language stations in Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the only known person to have done this. For 11 years he was part of the number-one rated James T. Morning Show on WEDR-FM 99.1 in Miami. This was following Traffic Patrol Broadcasting's purchase by Metro Traffic Control in 1990. In 1991, Metro Traffic Control became Metro Networks which later became part of Westwood One in 1997. On April 29, 2011, Westwood One sold Metro Networks to Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel also owns Metro's rival, Total Traffic Networks. Both Metro and TTN are now combined into one network and has retained the Metro Networks name once the transition is completed.

In addition to his broadcasting duties, Mitchell worked as an audio production engineer for Zig Ziglar Corporation from 1980–82. Mitchell served from 1986 to 1987 as National Director of Operations for Traffic Patrol Broadcasting, overseeing broadcast operations in Charlotte, Miami, West Palm Beach, Raleigh, Mobile, New Orleans, Dallas and Greensboro-Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Married with three children and four grandchildren, Mitchell currently maintains residences in West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton, Florida.

News reporting, sportscasting and commercials

In 1977, while serving as News Director for KROZ-FM and KZEY-AM in Tyler, Texas, he covered the famous capital murder trial of Kerry Max Cook, reporting from the Smith County courthouse, sitting in on the trial. In 1984 Mitchell reported from the floor of the Republican National Convention in Dallas, specifically covering the South Carolina delegation for WGCA-AM in Charleston, South Carolina. One of Mitchell's well-known bloopers happened at the convention in a pre-recorded interview. Mitchell told South Carolina U.S. Senator Strom Thurman that some were calling the convention dull and boring, then asked Thurman if he "was dull."

He has also reported from the midst of two of America's most historic hurricanes, Hugo in 1989 and Andrew in 1992. While in Charlotte in the late 1980s Mitchell broadcast dozens of reports for CBS radio on the collapse of Jim and Tammy Bakker's PTL empire. He reported for CBS on the expansion of the National Basketball Association in 1988. He has also served as a voice-over and public address announcer for various projects including film narration for the Texas Department of Health and the city of Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Mitchell broadcast ten seasons of football play-by-play and three seasons of NCAA Division-I basketball. He also has done NAIA college baseball play-by-play and auto racing public address announcing. He spent several seasons announcing play-by-play for high school basketball. From 1988 to 1990 he covered the NBA Charlotte Hornets for CBS radio and also covered the NBA Miami Heat for WQAM-AM 560. He worked as a sideline reporter for Boston-based TalkAmerica, covering the NFL Miami Dolphins in the early 1990s. He also reported daily from the Dolphin's training camp for WQAM-AM. In 1975 he covered Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers for KEAN-AM.

During his disc jockey days (1966–1984) it is estimated Mitchell produced and voiced over 30,000 recorded 30- and 60- second radio commercials for a wide variety of products and companies, including live commercials from 1984 to 2008 in traffic reports for companies such as Wal-Mart, McDonalds, General Motors, Microsoft, ChevronTexaco, the National Football League and American Airlines. He has also appeared in a number of television commercials in Charlotte for a local Ford dealership. In 24 years as a traffic reporter Mitchell broadcast hundreds of thousands of traffic reports, most with live commercials. He broadcast his 300,000th traffic report on October 23, 2007 with a 2:05 p.m. report on KVCE-AM in Dallas.

Between 2000 and 2008 Mitchell also served as a news anchor for KLIF-AM, KAAM-AM, WRR-FM and KVCE-AM in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, before returning to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market in 2009.
