Earle Robinson Gives Rob Bennett a Close Shave!
There was a whole lot of shaving going on Monday, October 19, at WKAR Radio Studios, when SportsTalk 870 host Earle Robinson shaved the head of his co-host Rob Bennett.
Bennett had made a wager with Robinson that if WKAR reached 300 members and $113,000 during the station’s fall on-air fundraising campaign by the time their program ended last Thursday afternoon that he would allow his smooth-headed colleague to shave his head.
Campaign totals by 2 p.m. Thursday exceeded both member and dollar targets.
WKAR Radio’s campaign concluded the following afternoon at 1 p.m. with a grand total of $153,676 and 1,420 members. Since then, pledges have continued to come in, bringing WKAR to within $1,800 of the goal.
SportsTalk 870 is heard weekdays at 1 p.m. on WKAR/AM870. Robinson, Bennett and guests take listener calls on sports, including MSU Spartans, Lansing Lugnuts, mid-Michigan prep sports, and the Detroit professional teams. Members of the MSU coaching staff are frequent guests, including head coaches Mark Dantonio, Tom Izzo, Suzy Merchant and Rick Comley.
SportsTalk 870 is available by podcast and past programs are archived online at WKAR.org. The program also has a Facebook fan page, “AM870 SportsTalk.”
