Robbins will have been in the industry for 40 years this May — and that in itself is a miracle. In 2012, he started on WMBD, Peoria, IL, with Jamie Markley joining him in 2014 for The Robbins and Markley Show. Two weeks after signing a syndication deal, Robbins suffered a heart attack. It was the first of three, necessitating five bypass surgeries.
“Don’t stop. Don’t quit. Fight through. I don’t take anything for granted now. Every day is a new day. I’m breathing and I get to do what I love. Always do what you love, and if you don’t love something, find something you love because life is short. I am extremely thankful for this second chance and to be able to join Markley and van Camp on the airwaves once again,” said Robbins.
Peoria SVP/Market Manager, Mike Wild commented, “Scott is a walking miracle and an inspiration. He’s also an amazing talent and his intense passion for radio was never so clear as during his recovery. He couldn’t wait to get back on the air and remarkably he’s still the same compelling personality even after all he’s been through.”
